My wife has been experiencing shortness of breath for the last four days along with nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, nervousness, and anxiety. All her vital signs are within normal range including an oxygen saturation of 98 percent and her blood report is also normal. She is a breastfeeding mother of a two month old child. We have consulted both a medicine specialist and a gastroenterologist and they have suggested that the problem is related to anxiety. We are concerned whether this could be something else or possibly COVID. Please guide.

Symptoms may be due to postpartum anxiety or hormonal shifts. Blood reports and vitals are fine, which is reassuring. To rule out anaemia as a precaution, get a CBC analysis done and report it.

I had cold, cough, and fever two weeks ago. I consulted a doctor who prescribed antibiotics (Amoxicillin 625 mg), Paracetamol 500 mg, and Ascoril cough syrup. After a week, the cold and cough continued with a runny nose, so he gave me some cold tablets for two days, which helped temporarily. Now, I am again experiencing severe cold, cough, chills, and a temperature of 97 to 99F since yesterday. Today, I consulted the doctor again, and he recommended some blood and urine tests. I have attached the reports. He is asking me to take IV therapy daily for four days along with more antibiotics. I shared my medical history, and he suggested getting a second opinion from you regarding this treatment. Should I continue treatment with him, or should I go to a bigger hospital? Please advise. Blood Report: WBC: 12,950 /cumm Neutrophils: 77 percent Eosinophils: 7 percent ESR: 36 mm/hr AEC: 905 /cumm Urine Report: Appearance: Cloudy Albumin: ++ Pus cells: 26 to 28/hpf Epithelial cells: Present in clumps
