I'm trying to understand the corona severity score which is out of 40. Could you explain what that means? Like, what's considered a normal score for someone with COVID? I'm concerned about what these numbers indicate for a patient's condition.

I'm really worried about this chest congestion I've had for the past 34 days, along with a dry cough. It started with wheezing, a bad backache, and shortness of breath, so I took the meds my doc prescribed, Lcin 500 and doxovent 400, and I've been nebulizing myself too. The symptoms are a bit better but the cough is still hanging around. This same thing happened to me 1.5 years ago during the winter. Is it just the cold weather causing this, or could it be something more serious like asthma? I got really scared after googling these symptoms. Does having wheezing and a dry cough definitely mean it's asthma?

no asthma is not severe

I'm curious if having gas can lead to fluctuations in the SpO2 levels on an oximeter for someone who's 24 days past their COVID infection. Should I be concerned about this or is it normal?

your covid infection might havefluctuation in saturation
