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?

My dad just got a positive corona test result, but apart from a fever hovering around 99-100F, he doesn't really have any other symptoms. It's been a week since the test, and to be safe, we got an X-ray done. The report mentioned something about "Prominent branchovascular markings bilaterally." He's quarantining at home at the moment. Can you help me understand what those markings mean? Also, he's diabetic, but it's pretty well managed. I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything else we should be worried about.
The prominent branchovascular markings in the X-ray report suggest some mild changes in the blood vessels of the lungs, which can sometimes occur due to infections like COVID-19. Since your father is asymptomatic except for the mild fever and his diabetes is under control, its good that he's in quarantine. Monitoring his symptoms and maintaining regular blood sugar checks will be important during his recovery.
