I've been dealing with some health issues after recovering from COVID-19. I tested negative back in November 2020, but I had pneumonia when I was positive. I've been under treatment for about a month with a reputed pulmonologist. My latest CT chest scan showed patchy ground glass haziness in the lower right lobe, and the CT severity score is 225. These days, I don't really have breathing problems or any major issues, but I feel a bit weak. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next or if there's anything I should be concerned about?

My HRCT scan showed a small fibrotic patch near the oblique fissure in the middle lobe but everything else was normal with no signs of viral pneumonia Should I be worried about this fibrotic patch since I don't have any bad habits or underlying conditions

I'm really worried about my dad's oximeter readings. It first shows SpO2 levels at 96, then drops to 95, 94, and even goes further down to 93 and 92. This fluctuation between increasing and decreasing is concerning. Given that normal SpO2 levels are usually between 95-100, I'm not sure what to make of it. Should I be worried about those dips to 92 and 93? What should I do?

No need to worry,keep a close observation,if it becomes less than 89 ,visit Physician for evaluation for appropriate management
