I'm really worried because I've had a cough for over a week now, and there's a lot of pain in my chest. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?

I've been tested positive for Covid on July 30, 2020, but I didn't have any symptoms. They admitted me to the hospital anyway and did all sorts of tests like CBC, kidney, liver, d-dimer, ferritin, and some ECG and chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. I got out after a week and have been quarantining at home for six days now. The past three days, I've been feeling like I have this chest fullness, kind of like gastric issues. I went back to the hospital and got another X-ray, which looks fine. But my Spo2 levels have been always between 93 and 96 since I got home. I'm not really experiencing anything else, but I'm worried about how to improve my Spo2 levels. Can you give me some advice?

I've been dealing with a breathing issue for the past three months. I can breathe fine through my nose, but when I try using my mouth, it's like I can't get a full breath, and sometimes I feel a pain in my chest. It's been worrying me. Could there be something going on with my lungs or chest that I should get checked out?

I'm really worried because someone I know has been a COVID patient since April 8th. We retested after 17 days, and its still positive. The CT scan shows a CORADS6 and a severity score of 6 out of 25, with findings like patchy areas of ground glass, septal thickening, and vascular issues suggesting viral pneumonia. I'm not sure what steps to take next or which medicines should be considered. Can you help?
