I'm a bit concerned because I recovered from COVID-19 about 15 days ago, but I still have some lingering issues. I had a mild case with just a loss of smell, but now I'm experiencing weakness, constant hunger, headaches, gastric problems, and some breathing difficulties. My oxygen levels dropped to 94-96 while they're usually 98-99. Is this something I should be worried about? What should I do?

I'm still coughing even after being off TB treatment for a couple of months. I never really stopped coughing since I was first diagnosed. I've been free of TB for two months now. I really want to get back to normal life. They checked my sputum again, and it came back negative. Im just wondering what I should do next?
