My mom is 71 and has been dealing with asthma for about 30 years. Last year and now she's had malaria and her ESR level is at 74. She's feeling like there's blood clotting in her veins and having chest pains, along with headaches. Can you suggest where we should go for help?

Hey doctor, I've got a few concerns I hope you can help me with. So, I'm a 33-year-old guy weighing 100 kgs, and although I don't have any blood pressure issues, sugar, diabetes, or other conditions, I've been dealing with this COVID-19 thing. Tested positive on May 23 and got admitted on May 25. My CT score was 425 initially and went up to 2040 by June 1, but I was discharged from the hospital on June 7. Lately, I've noticed that my body temperature was 99.6F on both June 21 and 22 at 9 pm, and then it was 99F on June 23. Also, I've been coughing up thick white mucus from my lungs pretty frequently. I'm worriedis this a sign that the virus might still be spreading in my system? Would really appreciate any guidance you can give.

I've been having some serious problems lately with throwing up right after I eat, and I keep getting these bouts of dry cough and cold. My recent X-ray showed something about 'moderate prominent broncho vascular markings'. What does that mean? Should I be worried about it? And could all of these symptoms be connected somehow? I'm really worried and would love your insight.

Could be indicative of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and possible respiratory infection. For the vomiting, you can take Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. For the dry cough and cold symptoms, you can take Levocetirizine (brand name Xyzal) 5mg once daily at bedtime. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms.
