Question 1

I've been dealing with this nasty dry cough that started when I had viral fever about two weeks ago. The fever and cold symptoms have cleared up, but the cough has stuck around and now it's less frequent but still there. The mucus has got this dark greenish-blackish tinge, which is worrying me a bit. It's been three weeks now, and I'm not sure what to do to get rid of it. Any advice on how to tackle this?

Question 2

Hey, my father-in-law, who's 63, was admitted on an oxygen bed on May 1st with a saturation level of 88. He tested positive for Covid19 and he's been getting treated in the hospital. Yesterday, his oxygen was at 15 liters, and his saturation was about 95, but today it's dropped back to 88 without oxygen support. The hospital suggested he might be discharged in 2 days since he's been physically good and active. So I'm really wondering, should we be worried about this drop in saturation? Is it something unusual or potentially dangerous? And is it safe for him to be discharged after just 2 days? I'm trying to understand if an oxygen level of 88 is bad or if it's something normal with recovering patients?

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom. She tested positive for Corona about 15 days ago and was just discharged from the hospital 2 days ago after receiving a Dexamethasone injection for 5 days. Her fever is gone, but she's still having some issues like occasional cough, weakness, and chest and back pain when she coughs. How long do you think these symptoms will stick around?
