I've been sweating a lot since yesterday and when I checked my SpO2 with a pulse oximeter, it read between 93 and 98. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should be checking it while I'm resting or after some activity. Is this range normal or is there something I should be concerned about? I haven't had a fever.

Your SpO2 readings between 93% and 98% are generally within an acceptable range, especially if you feel well and have no other symptoms like fever or breathlessness. Here are some key points to consider:
-
When to check SpO2: Measure your oxygen saturation while at rest, as activity can temporarily lower the reading.
-
Normal range: Typically, a normal SpO2 is between 95% and 100%. Readings slightly below 95% can occur but may need attention if persistent or accompanied by symptoms.
-
Excessive sweating: Sweating without fever could be due to stress, hormonal changes, or other non-infectious reasons. If it continues or you develop other symptoms, consult a healthcare provider.
-
When to seek help: Seek medical evaluation if you experience shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, or if your SpO2 consistently stays below 92%.
In summary, your current SpO2 readings are mostly reassuring. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult a healthcare professional if you feel unwell or notice worsening signs.

View allI'm on my 13th day without being able to smell or taste anything, and my nose is still blocked. I tested positive for COVID ten days ago and haven't had symptoms like fever or breathlessness since day one. I've been taking Azithromycin 500 for five days, along with Montek, Limcee, Zincovit, and vitamin D weekly. I'm feeling just like I did on day onenothing's improved or gotten worse. A doctor suggested I take Ivermectol once daily for three days and Doxy 1 LDR twice a day for five days. Should I go ahead with this? My oxygen levels are between 97 and 99. What do you think?

I've had a fever for the past three days, with my temperature fluctuating between 98.6 and 102. I get really cold in the evenings, probably because of the sweating, and I'm worried it's making the fever worse since I don't change my shirt soon enough. I don't have any body, joint, or muscle pain, but my nose is a bit runny and my throat hurts slightly. Could this be something serious, or is there anything specific I should do to get better quickly?
Your symptoms, including fever, sweating, chills, runny nose, and slight throat pain, suggest a possible viral upper respiratory tract infection, such as a common cold or flu; however, to rule out other causes like bacterial infections or pneumonia, consider consulting a doctor for a physical examination, and possibly, a rapid antigen test or chest X-ray.

I'm trying to figure out if my body temperature is normal since it's at 98. I don't have any symptoms of a fever. Should I be concerned, or is this temperature okay?
A body temperature of 98F (36.7C) is within the normal range, which is typically considered to be between 97.7F (36.5C) and 99.5F (37.5C), so you can be reassured that your temperature is normal,
