My dad got the second dose of Covishield and now he's having some symptoms like fever, body aches, and a mild cough. It's been 11 days, and even though he isolated himself and started taking Azithromycin and Ivermectin, he's still feeling pretty sick. His HRCT chest scan shows ground glass opacities and some consolidation, mostly in the basal and subpleural areas, with a severity score of 1125. His oxygen levels are around 94-97. I'm really worried, and Im not sure what to do next. What should our course of action be?

View allI've been having a cold and cough for the last ten days, and it's typical for me to have a cough for about two weeks. But this time, something unusual happened. In the mornings, when I cough and spit, there's a little blood mixed with the mucus or sputum. It started happening in the last two days, and it's freaking me out a bit. This morning, I even coughed on purpose to see if it would happen again, and it did. I don't smoke, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can you tell me what this might be and what I should do?

I'm noticing that I've been getting this really sticky, gel-like cough from my mouth lately, and I'm kinda worried about what it could mean. Do you think it might have something to do with my lungs? Also, which type of doctor should I see about this?
This can indicate excessive mucus production in your respiratory tract. This problem may be related to your lungs. You can consult a Pulmonologist for further evaluation and management. I recommend using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. Be sure to drink plenty of water to help with mucus clearance.
