I'm 20 years old and I've been having chest pain on the right side and shortness of breath for the last 15 days, especially when I breathe deeply. I'm really concerned about what this could mean and how I can recover from this. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I've just tested positive for Covid-19 and I'm experiencing mild symptoms, along with some difficulty in breathing. Should I consider getting an HRCT scan? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate some guidance.

I'm a bit worried about my CT scan results. It showed a soft tissue attenuation lesion and several lung nodules, with the largest being 9mm. I had a bronchoscopy and the biopsy results came back normal. Should I still consider getting a PET scan, or is it alright to just let it be? I'm not sure how to proceed and would really appreciate your insight.

My aunt is currently in the ICU at Sri Krishna Sevashrama hospital with pneumonia, and I'm really worried about her. Can you tell me how serious pneumonia can get and what treatments are usually done in cases like hers? Is there anything specific we should be aware of while she's in the ICU?

kindly continue the treatment, may God give her fast recovery
