I'm really worried because I've been having some trouble with my breathing and caught a cold, so my doctor had me get a CT scan. It says "no significant abnormality detected," but Im still feeling off. Can you help me understand what might be going on? Could there be something else causing my symptoms that's not showing up on the scan?

I'm really worried about my 76-year-old mom. She was diagnosed with Pulmonary TB but it was caught pretty early on. She started on AKT4, but after just five days, she had terrible reactions like severe vomiting and nausea. It left her feeling really weak. We admitted her to the hospital, and her LFT reports came back way off. So, they stopped her medication for four days, but her LFTs still aren't normal yet. Now they've suggested starting with Ethambutol and checking her LFTs again in three days, then adding another drug and doing more LFTs. Her sputum test was negative, but the gene expert test showed TB. Does this plan make sense? I'm just so worried about her and really want to make sure we're doing the right thing for her treatment.

I've been having a fever sometimes along with body aches, and my chest feels heavy. The X-ray shows some air in my chest, but I tested negative for COVID. What could be causing this?

I'm really concerned and was wondering how much oxygen someone with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis typically needs? Can you explain the process and what signs to watch for when oxygen might be necessary? Appreciate any insights you can share.

it depends on saturation of that patient
