Question

I've been really worried. Back in May, I had a severe case of COVID and ended up in the hospital with a CT score of 18. My last CT scan in July showed just a bit of that ground glass opacity left. It's been about six months since I was in the hospital, and my SPO2 is around 98-99 now. Do you think I should get an X-ray or another CT scan again? Or maybe some other tests just to be sure?

Question

My husband has been struggling with a dry cough ever since he recovered from COVID two months ago. We went to the doctor and they recommended using a Budamet 400 mg inhaler, but he's still coughing a lot, especially at night. It's really concerning. What could be causing this, and is there anything else we should be doing?

Question

Question

I've been dealing with some unsettling symptoms lately. About a month ago, I was diagnosed with Acute Bronchitis and went through a two-week course of medication, which cleared up my cough. But now I'm noticing similar symptoms again, with this annoying cough and a bit of chest pain. Should I consider getting a ChestLung X-Ray? Is it possible that this could be something more serious?
