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?

No need to worry, when you are tested negative you are free from disease, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

View allHey, I hope you can help me out here. I recently moved from Kolkata to Assam, and I'm having a tough time finding the medications I've been prescribed. I used to take Digihaler FB200, Cilapam LS, and Clonil 10 in Kolkata, but none of the pharmacies around here seem to stock them. Can you suggest any alternatives with the same ingredients? Im quite worried because I need to continue my treatment without interruption.
instead of digihaler, use foracort inhaler . rest ask for the same medicine

I'm trying to understand my mom's X-ray report better. It mentions "Prominent bronchovascular markings in bilateral lower zones" and raises concerns about pneumonitis. They suggested an RTPCR test because of the current pandemic, but her test came back negative. Her oxygen levels are good at 99, and although she had a cough and fever, she's okay now with just a slight cough every now and then. Can you help explain what this all might mean?
report indicates that there was some inflammation or infection in her lungs (possibly pneumonitis), but since her RT-PCR test is negative, it's likely not related to COVID-19. The fact that her symptoms have improved (fever gone, only occasional cough) and her oxygen saturation is normal is a good sign of recovery.

I'm trying to make sense of my mom's test results and I'm really worried. Her sputum test for AFB culture came back negative after three weeks, but the Genexpert test showed positive. The CT scan also revealed she has a "tree in bud" pattern infection along with a small mass lesion. I'm confused and concerned if this points to TB, some other kind of infection, or even something like cancer. Could you help explain what all this might mean?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
