I've been dealing with a cough for the past month and my fever keeps hovering between 102 and 104. I just got my test results back: my Mentaux test is positive and my chest X-ray shows some bronchetactics changes in the left upper-mid zone. There's also been mention of bronchial wall thickening and nodular densities in the upper zone. The report says it could be an infectious or inflammatory issue. I'm really worriedis this something serious that needs immediate attention, or is it likely to improve on its own? Any advice on how to handle this would be really appreciated.

I've been dealing with Covid for 18 days and I'm on treatment right now. I'm still running a fever around 99.1 and feeling a bit of breathlessness. My doctor decided not to go for a CT scan due to the risks and put me on Foracort 400. Should I be asking my doctor if a CT scan might be necessary at this point?
