Question

My mom recently got over COVID and tested negative, but her CT scan shows around 64% of her lungs are affected. She's been doing breathing exercises online, but her oxygen levels dip when she goes for a walk. What should we do? I'm really worried.

Question

I'm really worried and confused. My husband tested positive for COVID-19 after his third RTPCR test. We consulted three different doctors, and now his HRCT chest scan shows mild involvement with a score of 625. Can he recover at home with medication? Every doctor seems to have a different opinion, and Im not sure which advice to follow. What should I do?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad's oximeter readings. It first shows SpO2 levels at 96, then drops to 95, 94, and even goes further down to 93 and 92. This fluctuation between increasing and decreasing is concerning. Given that normal SpO2 levels are usually between 95-100, I'm not sure what to make of it. Should I be worried about those dips to 92 and 93? What should I do?
