I am asking this question of behalf of my grandmother.2 days back her oxygen saturation is hovering around 76 to 85.We immediately took her to the hospital where o2 level was 86 at night.She is asthmatic from past 35 years.She is having high bp ,sugar and thyroid for which take regular medicines.Bp recorded at hospital initially was 216/84 then had come down to 168/82.Ecg and echos was normal .Troponin was also normal. Chest x ray was not good so doctor suggested hs ct scan for which i am attaching her report.Her tlc count at the time of admission was 15700 as of today tlc count was 14500.Bp and sugar are now controlled as of today.But she is feeling better talking to us but doctor said next 48 hours are critical and crucial.Please suggest something.
Phlegm after eating food.
Is it normal to get a teaspoon of grey and sometimes transparent phlegm (not black) after eating any food? I m getting it since a month. Whenever I eat something, right after I finish eating, I get phlegm automatically! It didn't happen before. I used to live in Himachal, I shifted to gurugram in Jan 2024. Then I travelled by AC sleeper bus 3 times since then. Whenever I travel by an AC sleeper bus my throat starts to pain and I get cold. But when I wear a mask all the time in an AC bus, I don't get any cold. Since Jan 2024 I got cold 3 times and since then I have this phlegm thing going on. I even had black particles phlegm for few days then it stopped coming black, it came grey and transparent. In my last cold I was prescribed Azithromycin 500 qd for 3 days and an zadonase qd for 5 days. Cold is gone, sore throat is gone. But the phlegm is still there, everytime after I eat food.
