View allI'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the past two months. I've tried different treatments allopathic, ayurvedic, and homeopathic, but nothing seems to provide relief. It gets particularly bad whenever I'm near an air conditioner. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest anything else I should try?
Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions

I've been having trouble with my breathing lately, constantly feeling like I need to take deep breaths and yawning all the time. Even small exercises leave me feeling really tired, and I've been dealing with anxiety too. It's getting hard to focus on my studies because of all this. What could be causing these symptoms, and how can I manage them?
It sounds like your symptoms might be linked to anxiety, which can cause shallow breathing, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Practicing deep breathing exercises, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, and seeking help from a mental health professional could greatly improve your condition.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 61 and a BP patient who just tested positive for COVID. At first, she only had a headache and body pain with no fever, but then on the fourth day, her fever shot up to 102.6 degrees. It's been a week now, and her fever hasn't gone away, so we got a CT scan and some blood work done. The results showed a CT score of 1025, GGO, and consolidation. Her LDH is at 376, CRP at 23.94, and D-dimer is 506. Her oxygen saturation is around 96-97. I'm not sure what the next steps should be. Do you think steroids, blood thinners, and Remdesivir would be the right treatment? And should we consider admitting her to the hospital? I'm really concerned and could use some advice.
its better we start a course of steroid
