Question 1

I've been feeling a bit uneasy lately. I came down with COVID on April 7th, and while I recovered by April 24th, I'm experiencing some new issues. My CT score was a 4 during the infection, and I had a follow-up CT scan on May 1st that turned out normal. But now I'm having shortness of breath, and my SPO2 is fluctuating between 96 and 98. In addition, there's a slight chest pain on the left whenever I brisk walk. I'm starting to worry if it's possible for lung fibrosis to develop even though my CT scan was normal post-COVID. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

there are least chances to develop fibrosis with ct scan being normal

Question 2

I got my x-ray results and it says there's a blunted left CP angle with pleural thickening. Should I be worried about any serious disease? What should I do next? Would really appreciate some guidance!

Accepted Answer

no need to worry follow your doctors advice

Question 3

I'm a bit worried about the X-ray results that mention "haziness" in the left mid and lower zones of my chest. What could this mean? Should I be concerned about it, and what kind of follow-up do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

The X-ray report indicates haziness in the left mid and lower lung zones, which could suggest inflammation, infection, or a possible buildup of fluid. It's important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and clinical history for a more accurate diagnosis. I recommend discussing the results with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I've been dealing with a really bad cough and a lot of phlegm for the past couple of days, and my throat feels really scratchy. Could you suggest what might be going on or if there's anything I can do to feel better?

That could be Pharyngitis or Bronchitis which is causing phlegm,do salt water gargling twice daily and consume warm food.
