Question 1

what are the guidelines for close contact with someone whos fully vaxed covid positive person?

Accepted Answer

: If you are fully vaccinated and you have close contact with a Covid positive person, you don’t need to quarantine but you should wear a mask when out in public, practice social distancing and frequent hand hygiene. You should get a test 5 days post-exposure and monitor for symptoms for 14 days. If you develop symptoms, isolate and get tested ASAP. if you test positive, call your doctor. Good luck!

Question 2

i get bronchitis even from small colds, and prednisone always helps tremendously. can i rely on prednisone to use if i get covid? my son has it, and i've been exposed (though i'm triple-vaxed.) wondering if i can use steroids, if necessary?

Accepted Answer

: I would never suggest anyone self treat with powerful prescription meds. The first stem in good care is a consultation with the doc who knows your specific history. They may consider it among other treatments. Current circulating strains are less lung and more upper airway focused.

Question 3

m, 27, fully vaxed, covid positive. no fever, no cough. in the morning, i feel normal but ever since i got covid, i feel drained between 6-8pm and breath deeply so i lay down to rest. after a couple of minutes of resting im ok. is this just anxiety?

Accepted Answer

: This is possibly your body fighting the virus. A pulse oximeter helps monitor. If worse, or if you have heart/lung conditions or diabetes, meet your doctor for labs and chest image. Some therapies might assist like convalescent plasma. "Plasma hasn't demonstrated efficacy for most although limited data suggest that high-titer plasma given early to certain patients may reduce progression"(UTDate)

Question 4

for meningitis in unvaccinated children, how common is it that strep throat can cause it? higher risk if not vaxed? are there any other sicknesses that can turn into meningitis? are they higher risk to turn into meningitis if not vacced vs vacced ?

Accepted Answer

: Best to ask Infectious Disease Specialist. Best not to engage in the anti-vax arena. I believe in vaccines, not false articles published by faux researchers and fear monogerers. Can type whatever you are looking for into your browser or go to PubMed

Question 5

just tested positive for covid for the 1st time. i have mild symptoms and have been triple vaxed. is there a risk of cardiac arrest, stroke or blood clot while recovering or after recovery? i'm having alot of anxiety over this?

Accepted Answer

: Most of the time, Covid-19 related deadly complications only happen to patients with severe disease who are older than 60 years old with significant underlying medical conditions (comorbidities). You are young with mild symptoms so you should be fine, do not worry much. In 3-5 more days, you will completely recover. Take care!

Question 6

why are so many drs out there against the covid vax? they talk about blood clots, heart diseases, neurological problems from now and 2-5 yrs later . i'm fully vaxed since may but seeing all that is making me seriously scared. nobel prize drs? why?

Accepted Answer

: The overwhelming majority of health care professionals are vaccination proponents, but that doesn't make news headlines. Talk to your personal Physician for current information.

Question 7

what is the value of thermal imaging?

Accepted Answer

Questionable: There is currently no proven thermal imaging technique but hopefully sometime in the near future!

Question 8

what is the normal value of phosphorus?

Accepted Answer

Normal phosphorus: Serum phosphorus (p) is measured in milligrams of p per deciliter of blood (mg/dl). The normal range is generally 2.4 to 4.1 mg/dl and it  varies slightly depending on your age. It’s natural for children to have higher p levels because they need more of this mineral to help their bones develop.

Question 9

sir my diastoylic bp  varies between 120?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor.: Hypertension-  needs to be controlled and probably needs to be medicated.  See your doctor for medical treatment.  Not normal, not safe, very high, even for your age.  Important to verify the blood pressure is being measured adequately too.

Question 10

how do i work out what my vo2 max value is?

Accepted Answer

Run or walk.: Your VO2 max really has to be measured in a lab while you are exercising and your oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production are being measured. But you can estimate it at home. Try the following tests:
