I've just tested positive for COVID and I'm isolating at home. Can you let me know what medicines I should take or if there's any specific treatment I should follow? I'm also interested in having a teleconsultation.

View allI've been dealing with dengue since October 24th and was in the hospital until the 28th. I'm slowly recovering, but my platelets are at 2.76 lakh. I'm still feeling weak and having digestion issues, some joint pain, and gas problems. I'm really worried about how to get back to feeling better quickly. Could you suggest a proper diet plan to help me recover faster? I'd really appreciate it.
Sice your platelet count are increasing no need worry. Have fruits like Papaya and Pomogranate. Drink Plenty of Water and avoid spicy foods.

I'm really worried because my husband, who's 33 years old, just got a positive result from his RTPCR test with a CT value of 32.819. He's had a mild cough and sore throat for the past four days, but his oxygen levels are at 99. I'm trying to figure out what this CT value of 32 means. Does it suggest a mild infection, or should we be more concerned about a greater level of infection?
Given your age, lifestyle, and symptoms, possible causes of mild chest pain include: 1. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Strained muscles or costochondritis (inflammation of cartilage connecting ribs to breastbone). 2. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing up into the esophagus, causing chest pain. 3. _Anxiety or stress_: Tension leading to chest discomfort. 4. _Cardiovascular issues_: Although less likely given your lifestyle, it's essential to rule out conditions like hypertension, high cholesterol, or cardiac arrhythmias. Consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including: 1. Physical examination 2. Electrocardiogram (ECG) 3. Blood tests (e.g., lipid profile, cardiac enzymes) 4. Imaging tests (e.g., echocardiogram, stress test) if necessary Don't hesitate to seek medical attention if you experience: - Severe chest pain - Shortness of breath - Dizziness or lightheadedness - Pain radiating to your arms, neck, or jaw

I've been getting a fever at night after feeling cold for the past couple of days, but it seems to go away by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it? Would love to get some insight into what's going on.
You may be experiencing viral syndrome, or developing a viral fever. If your fever is high grade (above 100 degrees Fahrenheit), and associated with chills, you may need to undergo a blood test to rule out diseases like malaria and denggue. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.
