Question 1

I'm a 35-year-old male, and my family members tested positive for COVID, but I tested negative on June 29. Now, I have a mild cough, and sometimes my oxygen saturation drops to 88%. I only feel a little drowsy, and after a minute, my oxygen levels go back to normal (97-98%). Otherwise, I feel fine. Should I be concerned, and what steps should I take next?

Accepted Answer

It's important to identify the cause of your recurring evening fever over the past 3 months. It could be due to various factors like infections, inflammation, or other underlying conditions. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation and appropriate tests to determine the cause and provide proper treatment.

Question 3

I had a chest X-ray and it showed fibrolinear densities in my lungs. Im a TB patient and completed the 6-month treatment 10 years ago. Im worried if this could affect my pre-employment physical exam. I didnt mention my TB history during the interview...

Accepted Answer

Fibrolinear densities on your chest X-ray likely represent old scar tissue from your previous TB infection and treatment 10 years ago. These findings are generally not active disease but could raise questions during a pre-employment exam if not explained. Its best to clarify your history if asked, as treated TB is typically not a barrier to employment.

Question 4

Ive been dealing with asthma for about 5 years now and have been using Seroflo 250, but lately, it doesnt seem to be working as well. Ive heard about Foracort 200 and wondering if it might be more effective for me. Is it a better option than Seroflo?

Accepted Answer

Foracort 200 (Formoterol + Budesonide) and Seroflo 250 (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) are both combination inhalers for asthma, and while Foracort 200 may have a faster onset of action, Seroflo 250 has a longer duration of action; switching to Foracort 200 may help, but consult your doctor, as they can assess your asthma severity, adjust your treatment plan, and determine the best medication for you.

Accepted Answer

Acebrophylline is commonly prescribed for managing respiratory allergies and asthma. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, its wise to follow up with your current doctor or seek a second opinion for a tailored long-term allergy management plan.
