I've been having trouble breathing for the past two weeks, even though my chest X-ray and CT scan came back normal. I don't have a cough, but I occasionally find it really hard to breathe. I also have a mild fever and feel very tired. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I've still been having trouble with my breathing even though it's been three months since I recovered from Covid. It just doesn't seem to be getting better. What could be causing this, and are there any ways to help speed up my recovery?

steam inhalation, avoid dust exposure

Hey, my oxygen saturation is 98. Does that mean I might have COPD or be at risk for developing it? Should I be concerned about any chest issues? What do you think?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

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?

Patient is advised tab azithromycin 500 mg orallyonce daily for 5 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime orally for 5 days.
