Question 1

I'm a bit confused about my CT score. During my COVID infection, my CT score was 425, and now, post-COVID, it's 725. The doctor mentioned it's normal but I'm not sure what this means. I finished home quarantine 45 days ago and tested negative twice. Should I be concerned about the CT score of 7, or is there anything specific I need to do?

Accepted Answer

lead normal life , nothing to worry

Question 2

I've been noticing some blood-colored mucus once in a while over the past few weeks, and for the past two months, it's been feeling like my breathing is sometimes obstructed. I just got a body check and everything came back normal, including the blood test, but they didnt explain why I'm seeing the blood-colored mucus. Is this something I should be worried about, like could it be a sign of lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

X-ray chest pa view,complete blood count,esr,C-reactive protein ,IGE levels and sputum for AFB and microscopy is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a few days now, and nothing seems to be helping. We've tried both grillinctus and coffdryl, and even a ginger molasses mix, but her cough isn't getting any better. Do you have any advice or recommendations on what might help her get some relief?

Glans Exposure and Skin Retraction Issue

_Normal Variations_

1. _Temporary exposure_: Glans exposure can occur temporarily due to sexual activity, especially if you have a foreskin that's naturally tighter.
2. _Skin retraction_: Skin retraction can take some time, especially if you're not used to frequent erections or sexual activity.

_Causes for Concern_

1. _Prolonged exposure_: If the glans remains exposed for an extended period (>24 hours).
2. _Discomfort or pain_: If you experience persistent discomfort, pain, or difficulty retracting the skin.
3. _Infection signs_: If you notice redness, swelling, increased sensitivity, or discharge.

_Self-Care Measures_

1. _Apply a topical cream_: Use a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cream or ointment to reduce friction and discomfort.
2. _Wear loose, breathable clothing_: Avoid tight clothing that can irritate the area.
3. _Maintain good hygiene_: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.
4. _Avoid further irritation_: Refrain from engaging in activities that may exacerbate the issue.

I've been taking the digihaler like you suggested, and now I'm feeling a bit weak and shaky. I cant quite recall if this happened the last time I used it. Should I keep taking it?
