Question 1

I'm really concerned because I took a hard fall in the bathroom and slammed my chest on a tap. It's been about 34 days now and the chest pain hasn't gone away. I did a chest X-ray, and I'm worried if there's anything wrong with it. Could there be a chance of pneumothorax? Also, I have to fly tomorrow and I'm not sure if it's safe to fly with this kind of pain. What do you think?

My grandpa's been having a tough time with a serious mucus issue lately. It's like every day he's struggling to spit it out. And recently, the coughing and spitting seem to have ramped up even more.

Question 3

I'm feeling a bit worried about my health right now. After having a fever, I tested positive for Covid on November 19th and started with medication from a govt doctor. A few days later, I consulted a private doctor who suggested a CHET Test HRTC, and I've just received the results. It says there are multi-focal small ground glass opacities in my lungs, predominantly on the sides and back. The CORADS is 6 and the CT severity score is 52.

Im currently on a few medications - Asthakind DX, Dexona 0.5mg, Scavista 12mg, Esoga cap, Immugard, Calpol 650mg, and doing mobilization with Budecort 1mg. I'm just not sure if my report is good or if the meds are doing their job. I've started to experience chest pain and weakness. My current SPO2 is 98, pulse rate is 85, and my temperature is 98.6. Could you advise on my health and how my report looks?

Accepted Answer

Based on your CT scan showing multi-focal ground glass opacities, it's important to monitor your condition closely, especially with ongoing chest pain and weakness. Your medications, including Asthakind DX, Dexona, and others, seem appropriate for managing symptoms, but it's crucial to follow up with your doctor regularly to ensure you're recovering well. Keep monitoring your oxygen levels and seek immediate care if symptoms worsen. Your SPO2 of 98% is a positive sign.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
