I've been feeling this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I take a deep breath or sneeze. It's been going on for about two months, and sometimes it feels mild, but other times it's sharp. Plus, it hurts more when I do anything physical. The pain even goes up to my right shoulder and back. I don't have a cough or sore throat or anything like that, just this weird pain. What do you think it could be?

I'm really concerned about my friend's oxygen saturation levels. When she's lying down, it's around 85-89, but when she sits up, it improves to 92-93. She's currently on TB medication, and with 2L of oxygen, she can maintain a saturation of 92-95. I just want to know how her saturation can get back to normal levels. Any tips or advice on what we might do differently?

Continue same treatment for 2 days.

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?
