I'm a bit concerned because I recovered from COVID-19 about 15 days ago, but I still have some lingering issues. I had a mild case with just a loss of smell, but now I'm experiencing weakness, constant hunger, headaches, gastric problems, and some breathing difficulties. My oxygen levels dropped to 94-96 while they're usually 98-99. Is this something I should be worried about? What should I do?

View allMy mom's been dealing with some worrisome health issues lately. She has this cold cough and experiences shortness of breath, especially at night. We found out about some lower fibrotic changes in her left lung, but the HRCT and chest X-ray both came out normal. She's already been given some strong antibiotics, but there hasn't been any noticeable improvement. We're located in Ahmedabad and I'm really unsure about what to do next. Can you provide some guidance or suggestions on how to proceed?
I'm sorry to hear about your mom's struggles. Fibrotic changes can sometimes cause chronic symptoms despite normal imaging. Consider consulting a pulmonologist for further evaluation, possibly for inhalers or anti-inflammatory treatments, and to rule out other causes like asthma or GERD. Stay strongshe's lucky to have your care.

I'm still having some pain on the right side of my chest, in my back, and sometimes in my shoulders even after finishing my antibiotics for a Rightsided pleurisy and Upper Respiratory Tract Infection diagnosed last month. My recent CBC showed an ESR of 37, up from 24, but my TLC dropped from 12500 to 8700. I'm just wondering if I should be worried that the infection is still there or if the pain and inflammation will eventually go away on their own. What should I do next?

I'm really anxious about my mom's recent chest pain. The doctor suggested a CT scan, and the report mentions something about alveolo fibrotic opacity in her left upper lobe and the superior segment of her right lower lobe. It also noted no pleural effusion thickening. Could you explain what all this means? I'm really worried about her.
