I'm really worried about my mom. She tested positive for Corona about 15 days ago and was just discharged from the hospital 2 days ago after receiving a Dexamethasone injection for 5 days. Her fever is gone, but she's still having some issues like occasional cough, weakness, and chest and back pain when she coughs. How long do you think these symptoms will stick around?
