I'm really worried because the patient just got over COVID about five days ago. I'm trying to find out if they also recovered from COVID pneumonia or if there's still something lingering. Can you help explain how we can know for sure if they're in the clear?

I've been dealing with a cough for more than a week now and just started having this mild, annoying chest pain since last night. There's also phlegm. Should I be concerned, or is this something that'll pass on its own?

I'm really worried about my 67-year-old mom. She had covid pneumonia and developed post-covid lung fibrosis. The doctors assured us there was no need for concern since she only had a dry cough and no symptoms. A year down the line, we did a routine CT scan and now there's a 3 cm lung mass and multiple nodules up to 9mm in her right lung. Could this be due to the fibrosis she had after covid? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what to do next.
