I recently tested positive for COVID-19 on April 16th and after treatment, I got a negative result on May 8th. However, I'm now experiencing some breathing issues. My average O2 saturation levels are around 97-98. Should I be considering any kind of scan or is there something specific I should be doing?

Hey, I'm reaching out about my niece who's 13. She was diagnosed with typhoid in November, and they've been giving her really strong meds for that, along with malaria and dengue because she had a fever back then too. Now they've found out she has TB, and I'm desperately searching for a good TB doctor for her. She's gotten so weak she can't even swallow the meds now, and it's really hard to see her like this. Can you help?

I'm really worried about my husband. He was in a car accident and has a light chest injury, no bleeding, but we decided to do a CT scan just to be safe. The report says he has pulmonary nodules on his left lower lobe, one is 2 mm and the other is 4 mm. Could these nodules be a result of something serious? He did have COVID three years ago, could that be related in any way? I'm just trying to understand what this might mean.

Im really worried about my dad. He was just diagnosed with ILD Fibrotic NSIP and he's been dealing with a dry cough for two years and shortness of breath for the past six months. He's been prescribed Perfinex 200, Iverped, and Atarax. His oximeter shows oxygen levels between 96-98%. Could you give me an idea of what his life expectancy might be with this condition? Is there a chance that his symptoms wont get worse?
