I'm a bit concerned and curious about something. After having COVID a month ago, all my symptoms have gone away, and my SpO2 levels have been normal for a while. My chest X-ray came back normal too, which is reassuring, but I'm wondering if its still possible for there to be any fibrosis that wouldnt show up yet? Or does a normal X-ray mean everything's clear? Im just trying to understand what a normal X-ray really tells me at this point. I'm 34 and havent had any other symptoms.

I'm having trouble breathing properly and there's always this wheezing in my chest. When I walk, it's hard to catch my breath, and I'm also coughing a lot. I've tried taking azithromycin 500 once and using Dilosyn syrup. Can you suggest something for this constant wheezing? Are there any home remedies that might help? It's really frustrating.

I've noticed nail clubbing in all my fingers and toes, but there's no pain, just big clubbed nails. I'm really concerned about it and would like to know how I can treat it. Could you please provide some advice or solutions for this?

Nail clubbing can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. In your case, since you do not have any pain, it is important to determine the root cause of the clubbing. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. If it is related to a heart or lung condition, addressing that condition may help improve the nail clubbing. In the meantime, maintaining good overall health and keeping your nails well-trimmed can help manage the symptoms.

Hey, my father-in-law, who's 63, was admitted on an oxygen bed on May 1st with a saturation level of 88. He tested positive for Covid19 and he's been getting treated in the hospital. Yesterday, his oxygen was at 15 liters, and his saturation was about 95, but today it's dropped back to 88 without oxygen support. The hospital suggested he might be discharged in 2 days since he's been physically good and active. So I'm really wondering, should we be worried about this drop in saturation? Is it something unusual or potentially dangerous? And is it safe for him to be discharged after just 2 days? I'm trying to understand if an oxygen level of 88 is bad or if it's something normal with recovering patients?
