Question 1

I've been diagnosed with covid and my CT score was 25, and my scan showed a 225 pt infection in the upper right lung. I've been on medication like ivermectin, clavum, mondeslor, zincovit, limcee, and dolo for the past three days. Ive also been doing steam inhalations three times a day and drinking hot lemon water and kadha. Now, Ive started coughing and my oxygen levels are around 98-99, plus I'm feeling a little short of breath. I dont have a fever though. Do you think I should start taking a steroid like medrol, or should I stick to my 5-day treatment plan with cough syrup and steam inhalation for now to see if things get better?

Accepted Answer

continue the treatment you will be fine

Question 2

My mom's been on TB treatment since May 12, 2020, and I'm worried because she's not gaining weight. She's only at 31.80 kg right now, but she used to be around 39 to 40 kg before she got sick. It's been over a year since she started her treatment, so I'm wondering why her weight hasnt gone back up.

Accepted Answer

inadequate nutrition and side effects of medication like loss of appetite, monitor her progress
