Question 1

I'm a 35-year-old guy, and my whole family has tested positive for COVID-19, but I tested negative on June 29. Lately, I've noticed I have a minor cough, and sometimes my oxygen level drops to 88, although it usually bounces back to 97 or 98 after about a minute. I only feel a little drowsy when it happens. Everything else seems okay. What should I do now?

Accepted Answer

Kindly consult a pulmonologist at the earliest for further evaluation

Question 2

I'm really concerned because I've had this persistent cough for 25 days now, and it's accompanied by pain on the left side of my chest and a lot of fatigue, but I don't have any fever. I went to a doctor who recommended some tests and here are the results: my ESR is at 48 mm1hr, TEC is 4.17 Cumm, and while my CBC came back normal, my white blood cell count is at 13.9 Thmm3. My Serum Vitamin D3 is pretty low at 20.5 ngml, and I tested negative for Sputum for AFB. I'm not sure what all this means and should I be worried about these results?

Question 3

I've been feeling a bit worried lately. I got back to my hometown from Pune on March 11th and I've been really careful, keeping my distance from people and not going out since March 20th. But on the night of March 29th, around 11 PM, I started coughing. It's been a couple of days now and the cough isn't getting worse or better, just staying the same. Sometimes I feel like I need to take a deep breath, but it usually passes after a few seconds. Do you think I might have coronavirus?
