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

Can I take a Dart tablet if I got my first Covaxin dose 12 days ago and I'm experiencing a headache? I usually rely on Dart for relief when I get headaches. Just wondering if it's safe now.
It is generally safe to take Dart tablet for headache after receiving the Covaxin vaccine. The Dart tablet contains Paracetamol which is commonly used for headache relief. You can take 500mg to 1000mg of Paracetamol every 4 to 6 hours as needed for headache.

I've been experiencing a mild fever every evening for the past week, usually staying under 100, mostly around 99. But then it seems to return to normal by the next morning. I've also had occasional headaches, though my stomach feels okay. I had a CBC and urine ESR done, and everything came back fine. What could possibly be causing this?
Sounds like you may be experiencing a low-grade fever in the evenings, along with occasional headaches. Since your CBC, urine, and ESR tests are normal, it is less likely to be due to an infection. One possible reason for your symptoms could be a viral infection. I recommend taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every evening when you have a fever. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
