Question 1

I've been diagnosed with covid and my CT score was 25, and my scan showed a 225 pt infection in the upper right lung. I've been on medication like ivermectin, clavum, mondeslor, zincovit, limcee, and dolo for the past three days. Ive also been doing steam inhalations three times a day and drinking hot lemon water and kadha. Now, Ive started coughing and my oxygen levels are around 98-99, plus I'm feeling a little short of breath. I dont have a fever though. Do you think I should start taking a steroid like medrol, or should I stick to my 5-day treatment plan with cough syrup and steam inhalation for now to see if things get better?

I'm 26 and I've noticed that my oxygen level on the pulse oximeter is usually at 95, but sometimes it drops to 93 before going back to 95. My pulse rate is mostly around 92. I don't have any other symptoms, so I'm wondering if this is normal. Which t...

Accepted Answer

A pulse oximeter reading of 93-95% is generally within an acceptable range, though it can vary slightly depending on factors like positioning or movement. Since you dont have other symptoms, it's likely normal, but if you're concerned, consulting a **general physician** or a **pulmonologist** for a thorough evaluation would be a good idea.

Question 5

I've been dealing with this annoying sternum pain for about three years now. Its not super intense; its more like a mild ache where the rib meets the sternum. It tends to ease up a bit when I do exercises like push-ups or apply ointments, but then it...

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you are describing could be related to costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the sternum. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen. The recommended dosage is usually 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. In addition, applying a topical NSAID cream such as Diclofenac gel to the painful area may also provide relief. You can apply a thin layer of the gel to the sternum area up to 4 times a day. It is important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and rule out any other potential causes of your symptoms. You may need to undergo tests such as an X-ray or MRI to further evaluate the condition of your sternum and ribs.
