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?

I'm really worried about my dad. He was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease about two years ago, and now I'm concerned it might be in an advanced stage. His latest HRCT shows a superimposed infection, and I'm not sure what this means or what we should do next. Can you offer any advice or insights on this situation?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I just moved to Bengaluru and for the past four nights, I've been waking up in the middle of the night struggling to breathe. Before coming here, I was getting Ayurvedic treatment for Allergic Rhinitis but stopped once I moved. I'm worried if this breathing issue is somehow connected to the Allergic Rhinitis. Could it be related?

yes do to allergens
