My mom got over COVID about a month and a half ago, but her oxygen level is still around 93-95. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get her checked by a pulmonologist, or is there a chance she'll just get better on her own in the next couple of months? Before COVID, she had some dust allergies and would often cough, vomit, and sometimes have trouble breathing when going up stairs. What do you suggest I do?

I had tuberculosis back in April 2016 and took medication for 9 months, including Streptomycin 1gm, Combutol 800, and Rcin 450, until February 15. Now I've got a bit of a cough and some pain again. Do you think it might be TB again? And how likely is it to be MDR-TB if it is? I'm really worried about this.

there is nothing like how much chance , you should get it tested for medicine resistance, then we can find out ,is it mdr tuberculosis

I'm dealing with hereditary asthma and usually manage ok with my inhaler a few times a week, especially when it's cold. But right now, I'm wondering if there's a mild nebulizer solution that would help. Is Duolin enough for this, or should I consider trying Foracort? I'd really appreciate any advice.

without consult don't use nebulizer by your own

I was diagnosed with COVID on 25th Feb, and my CT scan showed about 30-40% lung involvement. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days and was discharged once my vitals were normal. After 28 days of treatment, my X-ray looked completely fine. My oxygen saturation (spO2) has been around 95-98% during these 28 days, but I've become really worried about developing fibrosis after reading stuff online, so I've been checking my spO2 around 20 times a day. My doctor said everything is okay after the X-ray. Also, my 6-minute walk test shows spO2 levels around 97-98. Should I stop checking my spO2 so often? If not, how long should I continue measuring it? I'm really scared, but I haven't had any fevers. Could you guide me, please?
