View allI'm a bit worried and seeking some advice. I tested positive for COVID-19 on May 2nd but had mild symptoms like fever for the first couple of days and then loss of smell and taste, which came back on the 6th day. My cough stopped initially, but after about 15 days, I started having a dry cough again. I was prescribed Alex cough syrup by a doctor on Practo. It's been almost 56 days now, and I still have that dry cough with some chest pain when I cough and occasionally feel pain in the upper abdomen, below the ribs. Could these be signs of pneumonia, or should I get a chest X-ray to be sure?
do chest xray
