I first had a fever on the 10th of October, but now it's just a persistent cough. I tested positive for COVID-19 on the 23rd. The fever's gone but I'm stuck with this cough. I'm currently taking doxycycline, Montelukast, LC Mucinac 600, Pantoprazole, Zincovit, and Limcee. I'm feeling better today, but should I be worried about any complications from the virus? And any thoughts on how long this might last?

View allMy relative has been experiencing severe back pain for the past three days and the doctor suggested an HRCT scan to check for Covid-19. The results showed a few parenchymal fibrotic bands, but everything else looks normal. I'm quite concerned about what this could mean. Could you give us some advice on what steps we should take next, or if theres anything specific we should be cautious about?
it is normal only, if you are having symptoms related to breathing, kindly consult a pulmonologist

I've been dealing with this annoying dry cough ever since I recovered from a fever and cold last week. It feels like it's coming from deep in the lungs and has a lot of force behind it. I've been taking chericof for three days now, but it hasn't helped at all. I visited a doctor, got an injection, and he prescribed some meds, saying I'd feel better by the next day, but there's been zero relief. It's just this relentless dry coughno fever, body pain, fatigue, appetite issues, or high blood pressure. Do you have any idea what's going on and what I should consider doing next?

I'm really worried about my brother who's been covid positive for a week now. He had a fever for the first few days, but now that's gone and he's got this dry cough. We got some tests done and I've got the chest X-ray results, but the doctor can only see us next Sunday and today is Thursday. The report mentions something about inhomogeneous opacities at both mid and lower zones, and it also says there's a bilateral pulmonary inflammatory lesion. Should we be waiting till Sunday to see our doctor or do you think it's better to check with another doctor sooner? Id really appreciate your advice on what this might mean and how to proceed.
