Covid Care during pregnancy
I am 4 months pregnant, I have been tested covid positive on May 3, 2020. I was asked to do HRCT of lungs with abdominal shield. Is HRCT safe during pregnancy?
I am taking Augmentin, Sinarest, however, still have cold. Experiencing very mild shortness of breath, but I couldn't differentiate it, as I used to feel SOB due to pregnancy before covid contraction. Is TusQ-X+ syrup safe to take?

What are your Oxygen Saturation levels???
What is the type of SOB you are experiencing???
See HRCT should be avoided in pregnancy
If at all we need to know if u have pneumonia or not u can do a simple chest xray with abdominal shield which causes less radiation exposure for the fetus
Doing HRCT won't change ur treatment plan if u are maintaining oxygen levels.
