I'm really worried about my friend. His oxygen level is around 90 when he's on 2L of support, but it drops to 55 when he tries to sit or do anything active. I know he had corona, and his CT score was 1424 on May 7, 2021. They've given him remdesivir, and he seems to be recovering from the virus, but he's having trouble breathing when the oxygen support is removed. It's been a month since he tested positive for COVID, yet he still needs oxygen. He recently had another CT scan on May 28, and the score is up to 2124. Can you help me understand what's going on with him? Why is he still facing these breathing issues? He's still in the hospital, and we're just really concerned.

his CT score has increased that means his infection is increased. that infection needs to be reduced then only he can be without oxygen support

View allI've been dealing with this annoying dry cough ever since I had a viral fever about a month ago. The cold was gone in about a week, but the cough is still sticking around. It's weird because some days it's just here and there, but other days it's pretty frequent. I can't figure out what's triggering it. It's my first time having a cough linger for almost a month. Luckily, it doesn't bother me when I'm sleeping, but it kicks in when I'm eating or talking. Should I be worried about this, or do you think it'll just sort itself out?
take antibiotics and syrup ascoril

I've been dealing with some allergy problems lately, and when I saw a doctor, they had me do an allergy test and a chest X-ray. They mentioned there might be an infection in my chest. I decided to consult another doctor who requested a Montoux (Mantoux) test, and it came back with a 14mm result. I'm a bit worried about what all this could mean. Could you help me understand these results and the possible implications?
