Specializes in Pain Management

Covid: If you feel you are getting worse then seek medical care. I would also recommend that you purchase a small saturation finger probe so you can check your oxygen saturation. The probes are quite cheap approx 20 dollars

Chest image: Please notify your PCP and see the Emergency Department. COVID 19 may change quickly, and re evaluation is indicated. Early use of Prednisone may lessen symptoms.
