Is an x-ray or a CT scan better at diagnosing COVID-19?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
X ray has shown poor sensitivity on the contrary, CT scan has shown remarkable sensitivity during the pandemic and has helped healthcare professionals detect and medicate patients suffering from Covid 19
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a Allergy Veg Food Panel Test or Take a ASPERGILLUS IGG ANTIBODY Test

I and my family tested positive 5 days ago and we got admitted in the hospital the same day. My sister did not have symptoms for the first three days but later after medication she developed flu, cold, cough, nausea and extreme tiredness. She also feels shortness of breath but her oxygen level is constantly 99. Why is her body getting worse day by day? Even after injection she feels tired and fatigued. Her CT and blood report are normal and she has no fever. She is 26 years old. Does she have any problem?
