Question 1

I've been experiencing some random chest pain since I got over COVID back in May. It usually hits around the ribs or near my heart. I've had an ECG and echo, and even a stress echo, and everything came back fine. But now, with the colder weather, I feel this mild pain in my chest when I cough or do om pranayam, mainly in the heart area. My cardiologist thinks it's muscular, but I'm wondering if it could be something lung-related instead. Are there any tests I should consider to figure out if it's a lung issue or really just muscular?

Accepted Answer

take pantop 40 mg 3 days and do chest x ray

Question 2

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 61 and a BP patient who just tested positive for COVID. At first, she only had a headache and body pain with no fever, but then on the fourth day, her fever shot up to 102.6 degrees. It's been a week now, and her fever hasn't gone away, so we got a CT scan and some blood work done. The results showed a CT score of 1025, GGO, and consolidation. Her LDH is at 376, CRP at 23.94, and D-dimer is 506. Her oxygen saturation is around 96-97. I'm not sure what the next steps should be. Do you think steroids, blood thinners, and Remdesivir would be the right treatment? And should we consider admitting her to the hospital? I'm really concerned and could use some advice.

Accepted Answer

its better we start a course of steroid

Question 3

I'm a bit worried about my mom's medication after she was discharged from the hospital. She's been prescribed Duolin 2.5 ml TDS and Flohale 2.5 ml BD for nebulization. I'm not sure if I should be mixing them together for her treatment, or if they need to be nebulized separately. Can you help clarify this for me?

Accepted Answer

Duolin and Flohale should be given separately when nebulizing. Duolin is usually taken three times a day (TDS), while Flohale is taken twice a day (BDS). Ensure theres a gap of at least 10 minutes between the two medications to avoid any interaction. Always follow your doctors advice for the best results.

I'm really worried because ever since I had a viral infection, I've been dealing with this persistent cough and wheezing that just won't go away. It even flares up when I'm talking sometimes. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it being something more serious?
