I've been having a slight cough and some wheezing again after getting better a couple of weeks ago. Now it's also paired with a cold and a stuffy, runny nose. I haven't traveled anywhere, but I did go out twice with a mask and gloves to grab some essentials. Do you think I should be concerned about it being COVID?

  1. Symptoms Assessment
    a. Your symptoms could be due to a common cold or allergies, especially given the presence of a runny nose and stuffiness.
    b. Wheezing and cough can also be related to asthma or respiratory infections.

  2. COVID-19 Consideration
    a. While these symptoms can overlap with COVID-19, the absence of travel and limited exposure reduces the likelihood.
    b. Monitor for additional symptoms like fever, loss of taste/smell, or fatigue.

  3. Action Steps
    a. Consider a COVID-19 test if symptoms persist or worsen.
    b. Maintain good hygiene and monitor symptoms closely.
    c. Consult a healthcare provider if breathing difficulties increase or if you have concerns.

I'm having an issue with my oximeter where it won't show the RR reading, except for a few brief moments. It works perfectly fine for others when they use it on their finger, but this problem only happens when I use it. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm 35 and diabetic. I started feeling unwell on June 22 with a minor cough and then a low-grade fever. I took Claribid 500 and Musinac 600 for three days. My brother wasn't feeling well for 10 days, got tested for COVID, and his result was positive. Now, four members of my family are positive. By June 27, my oxygen levels dropped, and I was admitted to the hospital. My COVID tests came back negative twice, but since I was in the ICU, all the other patients were positive. After two days, I was moved to a normal ward and treated with IV Monocef O for five days. Now I'm on tablets, Monocef O and Azithral, plus vitamin C for seven days. I don't have any symptoms now. Should I stop the medicine? My CT report looked good, and the doctor advised isolating for 10 days. So can I touch my kids after those 10 days, or should I wait 14 days? Is it okay for me to start doing household chores now? I'm worried and really want to avoid going back to the hospital. Also, could I have been COVID positive but still tested negative?

no need to take any antibiotics and consume healthy food and stay isolated for a period of 7 days and you can be free after that
