I'm really worried about my dad. He has mild pneumonia symptoms based on a recent CT scan and is experiencing some breathing issues. He's tested positive for COVID-19, and his SpO2 levels are around 93-94. We tried to get a hospital bed for him, but none are available. What should we do now? He's currently isolating at home.

I've been dealing with this annoying throat irritation and wet cough with phlegm for a while now. I've already tried all kinds of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. One doctor prescribed Prednisolone, and it made me feel better while I was on it, but as soon as I stopped, all the symptoms came back, like the phlegm and weird throat sounds while I'm sleeping. Im trying to figure out why it keeps coming back. Could there be something else going on that's causing these symptoms to persist?

Can someone have tuberculosis without showing a cough? I've been feeling unwell lately, but I don't have a cough, and now I'm worried it might be TB. What are the other symptoms I should look out for if it's not just a typical cold or something? I'm a little confused.

yes it can
