I'm really worried because my husband, who's 33 years old, just got a positive result from his RTPCR test with a CT value of 32.819. He's had a mild cough and sore throat for the past four days, but his oxygen levels are at 99. I'm trying to figure out what this CT value of 32 means. Does it suggest a mild infection, or should we be more concerned about a greater level of infection?

Given your age, lifestyle, and symptoms, possible causes of mild chest pain include:
- Musculoskeletal issues: Strained muscles or costochondritis (inflammation of cartilage connecting ribs to breastbone).
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Stomach acid flowing up into the esophagus, causing chest pain.
- Anxiety or stress: Tension leading to chest discomfort.
- Cardiovascular issues: Although less likely given your lifestyle, it's essential to rule out conditions like hypertension, high cholesterol, or cardiac arrhythmias.
Consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including:
- Physical examination
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Blood tests (e.g., lipid profile, cardiac enzymes)
- Imaging tests (e.g., echocardiogram, stress test) if necessary
Don't hesitate to seek medical attention if you experience:
- Severe chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Pain radiating to your arms, neck, or jaw

View allI'm feeling pretty miserable with a runny nose, headache, and a bit of a fever since yesterday. I tried taking some nimesulide and paracetamol, but it hasn't helped at all. Can you suggest something that might actually work? I'm really looking for the best prescription you could recommend.

I'm looking at my blood report and I'm seeing a few things out of range, like my total leucocytes are at 3.83 which seems low, and my neutrophils are 34.9 and there's something going on with my lymphocytes at 56.7. Also, my basophils and monocytes' absolute counts are not within the normal range. I've also noticed that the mean corpuscular hemoglobin and the MCHC are a bit off. I had a fever not too long ago and still have mucus in my throat. I'm starting to worry because I read that these symptoms could be related to typhoid. Do you think it's possible that I have typhoid, or is there something else going on?
