I was in the hospital two months ago because of COVID, which led to COVID lung pneumonia. I've attached an X-ray taken two months after I was discharged. Can you tell me if I should have another CT scan or not?

Question

I've been having this cough for a month now, and my chest CT shows a few small mediastinal lymph nodes, with the largest one being 7.8 mm in the prevascular region. Should I be worried about this?

So, my younger sister has been dealing with allergies for about 10 years now. Her doctor recommended Budecort 100 mg, and she's been taking one puff a day. Normally, she's fine for months, but then suddenly, she starts to get a cold, dry throat, and sometimes a cough, and breathing becomes really hard for her. We end up needing to use a nebulizer in the hospital to get things under control. Do you think there's any permanent solution to stop this from happening?

Question

I'm suddenly having breathing issues 11 days after recovering from COVID. My oximeter shows my oxygen levels are between 95 and 97. I didn't have any breathing problems during COVID itself. Is this normal, or could there still be some sort of COVID infection in my body?
