I'm really worried because my oxygen level has been fluctuating between 88 and 90 for the past three days. I'm 52 years old and weigh 95 kg, and my blood test came back normal. However, my CRP level was 35 mgL on April 13 and then went down to 8.60 mgL by April 27. What should I do about this situation?

I'm about five months into my TB treatment now. My cough has improved a lot, and I don't have the fever like before, plus I've gained 7 kg. I don't really have any other issues, but I still have this occasional cough during the day, like 20 to 30 times, just a small cough each time. My GeneXpert test was positive, and the EBUS FNAC showed caseating epithelioid granuloma cells when I had it done at Apollo Hospital. I'm a bit worried about when this cough is going to go away completely. Are there other possibilities I should be aware of? Do I need to extend my medication to 12 months?

good immunity is required to overcome cough, try eating nutritious food

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now, and I'm really concerned. So, I had a fever for nearly two weeks starting around mid-April, and the highest it got was 103.5 degrees. It seemed like COVID since I had symptoms like loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, weakness, and a persistent headache, but my COVID tests came back negative. I ended up in the hospital for a day and a half, and after getting some treatment, my fever went away. But I still can't catch a deep breath; I get winded easily, even with minimal activity. It's been about a month since I was discharged from the hospital, and this issue hasn't improved. What kind of doctor should I see, and what steps can I take to address this? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

do covid test once again and start amoxclav tab for 5 days for secondary infections
