I'm really worried about my mom who's been diagnosed with pneumonia at St. Luke's E.R. The doctor gave her medication for just 15 days, but she's still struggling with a cough that keeps her up all night and it's affecting her sleep. We're really concerned because she's not allowed to leave the house, and we want to find out if theres a different medication or treatment that might help her. Who can we reach out to for more advice? Would appreciate any guidance!

View allIs it dangerous if my dad's oxygen saturation is swinging between 81 and 93? He's suspected to be COVID positive, but he doesn't have any breathing problem. He's normal otherwise while we're waiting for his PCR test results. Should he be on certain medication or something?
Low oxygen saturation between 81-93% can be concerning, even if he's not feeling breathless. It's important to monitor him closely while awaiting the PCR results. If his oxygen levels continue to stay low or worsen, he may need supplemental oxygen or further medical care, so it's best to consult with his doctor for advice.

I was diagnosed with COVID on 25th Feb, and my CT scan showed about 30-40% lung involvement. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days and was discharged once my vitals were normal. After 28 days of treatment, my X-ray looked completely fine. My oxygen saturation (spO2) has been around 95-98% during these 28 days, but I've become really worried about developing fibrosis after reading stuff online, so I've been checking my spO2 around 20 times a day. My doctor said everything is okay after the X-ray. Also, my 6-minute walk test shows spO2 levels around 97-98. Should I stop checking my spO2 so often? If not, how long should I continue measuring it? I'm really scared, but I haven't had any fevers. Could you guide me, please?
