Please do not increase your dose of Predmet (methylprednisolone) on your own. Corticosteroids must be carefully managed by a doctor. Taking a higher dose without medical guidance can lead to unwanted side effects and may even delay your recovery. It is important to continue with the prescribed 8 mg once daily and immediately consult your healthcare provider if your fever or cough worsens. They can safely evaluate your lung scan and adjust your treatment if needed. Please rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your oxygen levels.

Your father's oxygen levels of 85-86% and breathlessness when talking or walking are clear signs that he requires immediate hospital evaluation and oxygen therapy. While lying on his stomach helps temporarily, it is not a substitute for professional medical care, especially given his history of diabetes and COVID-19. Please take him to the nearest hospital or contact emergency services right away. You should continue his current medications, Predmet (methylprednisolone) and aspirin, exactly as prescribed until the hospital doctors review his treatment. Prompt medical care will ensure he gets the right support to recover safely.

It is very common to have a lingering cough and chest fullness as your lungs heal after COVID-19 and inflammation. Since you completed your treatment with methylprednisolone (Predmet) for fluid buildup, a follow-up visit with your doctor is a great next step. They may recommend a repeat chest X-ray or a chest CT scan to ensure the fluid has fully cleared. Additionally, simple breathing tests called Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) can check your lung capacity and airflow. Please share these symptoms with your physician to ensure your recovery is progressing beautifully.

This infection primarily affects individuals with uncontrolled high blood sugar or those on prolonged, high-dose steroids (like Predmet, which is methylprednisolone) who have severely weakened immune systems. Since your blood sugar levels are completely normal and your health is improving, your body's defenses are in a much stronger position. Just continue to monitor your health, maintain good hygiene, and stay in touch with your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms like facial pain or nasal congestion.

You should not restart or continue any of her medications, including Fabiflu, Predmet, or antibiotics, without consulting her doctor. Her current symptoms?stomach pain, weakness, and high blood pressure?can often be temporary side effects of medications like Predmet (methylprednisolone) and Naxdom (naproxen/domperidone), or part of the body's natural healing process. Please have her blood pressure monitored by a healthcare professional, who can safely guide her recovery and address her stomach discomfort. With rest and proper care, her chances of a complete recovery remain very high.

To ensure your body is healing well after COVID-19, steroids like Predmet, and blood thinners, I recommend a few simple tests. A Complete Blood Count (CBC), fasting blood sugar test (as steroids can affect glucose), and kidney and liver function tests are great starting points. Since you were on blood thinners, a coagulation profile or D-dimer test is helpful. For your stomach irritation and cough, your doctor may suggest a gentle acid-reducer or a chest X-ray.
