I'm really worried about my mom. She tested positive for Corona about 15 days ago and was just discharged from the hospital 2 days ago after receiving a Dexamethasone injection for 5 days. Her fever is gone, but she's still having some issues like occasional cough, weakness, and chest and back pain when she coughs. How long do you think these symptoms will stick around?

I'm worried because when I inhale, it feels like my veins get stuck in my ribs in the back and on my chest. The doctor said this should help with my breathing problem, but my hands are still shaking. What could be causing this? Do you have any advice?

I'm really worried because I've had this cough for the past three months, and now, for the last two weeks, I've also been struggling with breathing. It's a dry cough, and even though I've been drinking a warm glass of water every morning and gargling with salt water for the past couple of weeks, nothing's helping. Could you please tell me what's going on or what I should do?

I recently had a mantoux test done and now, 48 hours later, there's this 20mm red and swollen area where the injection was given. I'm a bit worried about what this might mean health-wise. Any insights on this?
