Question
I'm a bit worried about my husband. He had covid and got over it by April 14th, but his tests showed minimal lung fibrosis. Since then, he's taken steroids for five days and used a symbicort inhaler for a month. His CRP and D-dimer levels are normal, and his oxygen levels have been fine even during the covid infection. He doesn't have any breathing issues or cough and can do normal physical activities without any problems. The doctor mentioned it might clear up in 6 to 8 weeks, but I'm anxious to know if we should do more tests to confirm if the fibrosis is gone or if we're doing okay just watching and waiting. What do you think?
