Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom's health. She got COVID and even though she's better now, the docs say it messed with her lungs. I got her CT scan report but can't make sense of the medical terms. Could you help me understand how her lungs are doing? Is there anything serious to worry about, like needing treatment or surgery?

Accepted Answer

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm having this nagging minor chest pain that's been going on for about 6-7 months, mostly when I'm coughing or turning from side to side in bed. It doesn't bother me when I'm just sitting or walking around. About six months back, I saw an MD, and ECG results were normal. Later, I had an ear infection and visited an ENT who found my IgE level really high and put me on antibiotics and Montelukast tablets, which I finished a couple of months ago. But the chest pain is still there. I asked my doctor for more tests, and they suggested a CT chest scan. The report mentioned small ground glass opacities. I'm kinda worried now  could this be something serious? Is my chest pain related to these findings, and what's the next step for treatment?

Accepted Answer

there might be inflammation of lungs, kindly consult a pulmonologist

Question 3

I'm trying to understand what the normal SpO2 level should be for a healthy person. If someone has a reading of 95 or 96, is that still considered normal, or is it lower than what it should be? I'm a bit concerned about the implications of these values.

Accepted Answer
