Question 1

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.
