Question 2

Hey doctor, I've got a few concerns I hope you can help me with. So, I'm a 33-year-old guy weighing 100 kgs, and although I don't have any blood pressure issues, sugar, diabetes, or other conditions, I've been dealing with this COVID-19 thing. Tested positive on May 23 and got admitted on May 25. My CT score was 425 initially and went up to 2040 by June 1, but I was discharged from the hospital on June 7.

Lately, I've noticed that my body temperature was 99.6F on both June 21 and 22 at 9 pm, and then it was 99F on June 23. Also, I've been coughing up thick white mucus from my lungs pretty frequently. I'm worriedis this a sign that the virus might still be spreading in my system? Would really appreciate any guidance you can give.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my father's health. He's 56 and just had a CT score of 925 at the end of April. His CRP is 40.5 mg, serum LDH is 823.1 UL, D-Dimer is 319.92 ngmL, and ferritin is 769.63 ngmL. His oxygen levels keep fluctuating between 90 and 92, occasionally hitting 93 or 94. He started on steroids and anticoagulants from May 1st, but before that, he had dexona and deriphyllin for about one and a half days at the end of April. What should we do next? Is there anything specific we need to watch out for or ask his doctor about?

I've been dealing with asthma for the past 10 years and started using a medicine called Salbair I about a year ago. I've been taking it regularly and I'm worried if that's harmful. Should I stop using it, or what should I do instead? How risky is this medicine for me?
