Patient has been 50 days post-COVID now. About two weeks ago, their X-ray came back normal. Is 50 days enough for lung fibrosis to develop? Also, their sp02 today is fluctuating around 96-98 with the oximeter held for 5 minutes. What should I be concerned about?

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the last six months, and it's really starting to worry me. I've tried more than 10 different cough syrups, but nothing seems to work. It gets so bad at night that I can't sleep because of the coughing. What's strange is, I don't have a runny nose. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this and how I might be able to treat it?

Im sorry youve been dealing with this persistent dry cough for so long. Since over-the-counter cough syrups havent helped, its important to get evaluated by a doctor to rule out conditions like GERD, asthma, or postnasal drip. A thorough examination and possibly some tests will help get to the root cause and find the right treatment to bring you relief.
