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 a bit worried about my body temperature. It usually stays around 98 to 98.7 in the morning but goes up to 99 by late afternoon, then drops back to 98.7 around 9 pm and stays there. It's been like this since April 10. For a couple of days in between, my temperature didn't go above 98.7. I haven't taken any meds for fever. Could this be something like typhoid or malaria? I haven't been able to get a blood test because of the whole corona situation. What do you think might be going on?
sometimes dueto hormonal changes also there's is change in temperature. Drink plenty of water and avoid stress as much as you can

I'm really concerned about my wife. About three weeks ago, she got an injection in her left hip at an authorized hospital because she was having stomach pain. Just yesterday, she noticed a lump at the injection site. There's not a lot of pain, but she does feel a little bit when it's pressed. I'm worried about what could be causing this lump and if it's something we should be concerned about. Is there anything I should do?
The lump at the injection site on your wife's left hip could be due to an inflammatory reaction, infection, abscess, or granuloma formation, and although it's likely a benign complication, it's essential to consult the doctor who administered the injection or visit the hospital's emergency department to rule out any serious infections or adverse reactions, and ensure proper evaluation and treatment.

I recently finished an anti-rabies vaccine course back in September 2016, but today, on November 14, 2016, I got bitten again by my young dog on the lower lip. There's a small wound with some bleeding involved. The dogs just 5.5 months old and has all his vaccinations up to date. Do I need to get vaccinated again? What should I do now?
YES its better get two booster doses at an interval of 2 weeks.
