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?

I'm concerned about my mom's health. She's been diagnosed with bronchitis and the doctor has prescribed her budecort 200 rotocap capsules. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to continue taking these capsules. Could there be any potential side effects or interactions we should be aware of? Would appreciate your insight.

I'm experiencing some breathlessness when I'm walking or climbing stairs to the second floor, especially after coming home from work. My oxygen level drops to 90 for about 30 seconds to a minute before it goes back to normal. I also had a CRP test done, and the result was 15.6 mgL. Is this a normal level? What could be happening with my body?
