Question 1

I've been a bit worried because about 10 days ago, I had a fever for a couple of days right after my dad tested positive for COVID. I just assumed I might be positive too, so I quarantined myself. Now, I'm dealing with sinus issues, but most of the mucus has gone away and I've barely got any cough left. I got a chest X-ray yesterday, and I'm really concerned about whether I should be worried about pneumonia, especially since I had that brief fever and no real cough. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Take amoxclav 625 mg BD for 5 day to prevent secondary infection and pneumonia

Question 2

I've noticed that my oxygen saturation was between 99 to 100 before I got COVID. Even though I just had a mild case with some cold and fever for a day and a mild cough, my SpO2 dropped to 95-96 now. I'm wondering why this happened and how long it might take for it to get back to normal. Could you help me understand this?

Accepted Answer

Normal, nothing to worry ok.

Question 3

I'm in my 7th month of yb treatment, and I've had some allergy issues. My doctor gave me budamate with lupihalet, but ever since I started them, my breathing feels worse. Earlier, breathing wasn't much of a problem, and I had foracort inhalet at home, but I never really needed to use it. I'm also on Rcinex 600 for my TB. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
