Question 1

My mom was diagnosed with COPD and dilated RARVPA about three months ago. She tested positive for COVID last week but has since recovered. However, her oxygen levels sometimes drop to 80, especially when she's sleeping. I'm really worried about how serious this might be. Can you tell me more about what foods she should avoid and what she should be eating instead?

Accepted Answer

no it is not serious. But need to take medication for COPD. avoid foods like banana, curd

Question 2

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.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom... She was diagnosed with COVID, and we're now on the 14th day. Luckily, she hasn't had a fever for the last 6 days. Her CT scan on the 5th day showed a 625 score, and she started taking 40 mg of Predmet, which seemed to help with the fever. But now, I'm concerned about her D-dimer levels; they were at 1300 and after 4 injections of 40 mg Enoxaparin, it's down to 1100. I'm just really anxious to know how long it'll take for her D-dimer levels to drop below 500. Is there a typical timeframe for this to happen?

Accepted Answer

Atleast 3-5 days is advised to the patient.

taking steam is quite helpful
