Question 1

I've been dealing with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and lately, I've noticed some changes. My oxygen level sticks around 96-98, which is pretty normal for me, but a month ago, I got hit with COVID. During that time, I was mostly coughing with phlegm and felt really tired, but not much else. Now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm still feeling really worn out. I'm having a dry cough about 6-7 times a day, which never happened to me before, and my chest hurts a bit when I yawn. Plus, I've started feeling a bit of difficulty in breathing that lasts for 3-5 seconds. I used to be perfectly fine before all this. Any idea what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Do chest x ray and review for further and aslo start regular exercises

Question 2

I'm noticing blood in my cough every other day, but it's only a small amount, like less than 5ml. I've already checked, and my TB report came back negative, plus my chest X-ray looked normal. Lately, I've been having this pain in my throat too. What could be going on? Should I be worried about something serious?

Accepted Answer

there might be infection. take one course of antibiotic

Question 3

I'm just a bit concerned about some lingering symptoms after recovering from COVID-19. I spent 9 days in the hospital and was discharged once my symptoms eased up. My CT chest report mentioned 5 to 10 viral pneumonia with no fibrosis, and they said it was corad 5. Bloodwork was all normal. It's been 30 days now, but I still have a mild dry cough, tightness in my chest, and occasional nausea that comes and goes. Is this something to worry about, or is it a normal part of the recovery process? Also, is the 5 to 10 viral pneumonia significant, or nothing too serious?
