I was hoping to get some advice about my recovery. I had a negative antigen test on August 25th, but by the 27th, I started having fever and weakness, and then on the 29th, I experienced breathing issues. After going for a HRCT on August 30th, it showed Co Rad 4, and I got admitted the same day. I went through a week of treatment with Remedesivir, Meropenam, and Azithromycin, among other things. After being discharged 10 days ago, I took a 5-day course of Fluvir and some other medicines. Now, my pulse and oxygen levels are stable, but I'm still feeling weak. Do you think I need to take any medicine for the weakness, or should I talk to a doctor about it? Is this kind of weakness normal after such treatments?

I'm really worried because my recent CT scan and X-ray showed I have bronchiectasis in my right upper lung. There's also something about my lower bowel that's concerning. Could this be why I've been having breathing issues or stomach discomfort? What could these findings mean for my health and are there any specific treatments you would recommend?

kindly take medications for broncheictasis
