Question 1

I'm really worried because I've been having Covid symptoms, like chest pain and breathing issues, but my RT-PCR tests always come back negative. It's been 1.5 months since this all started, and my recent chest X-ray showed congested bilateral hila. Can you help me understand what this means? Is it possible I still have a Covid infection, or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

it just means you have slight inflammation. you don't have covid infection now

Question 2

I'm really worried about my friend who's been getting treated for TB for over a month now. He seemed to be doing better, but then he suddenly came down with a high fever for a week, had terrible weakness, and was sweating a lot at night. The doctors gave him some new meds and he improved a lot, but now he's been diagnosed as COVID positive. Right now, hes not showing any typical COVID symptoms, so I'm kind of stressing about what we should do next. Could you give some advice on the next steps we need to take?

Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice daily. Post control of infection ATT is started.

Question 3

I've got this question about a recent visit to a male doctor for my cough. He began the exam by touching above my left breast with the stethoscope, then moved beneath it, right on the breast, not where the lungs are. He repeated the same steps on my right breast. This kind of threw me off. Is that a standard part of examining a cough? I'm hesitant to accuse anyone without knowing if that was necessary, so I'd appreciate some clarity on this.
