I'm a bit concerned and curious about something. After having COVID a month ago, all my symptoms have gone away, and my SpO2 levels have been normal for a while. My chest X-ray came back normal too, which is reassuring, but I'm wondering if its still possible for there to be any fibrosis that wouldnt show up yet? Or does a normal X-ray mean everything's clear? Im just trying to understand what a normal X-ray really tells me at this point. I'm 34 and havent had any other symptoms.

My dad is 64 and has had a fever and cough for the past four days. We saw a doctor who suggested a COVID test, but it came back negative. We met with the doctor again and were told to do more tests. Today, we got the reports, and his CRP level is at 32 mglitre, and the X-ray shows a mild haziness in the lower left zone of his chest. I'm really concerned and wondering what could be causing these symptoms?

I'm really worried about my mom's health. She got COVID and even though she's better now, the docs say it messed with her lungs. I got her CT scan report but can't make sense of the medical terms. Could you help me understand how her lungs are doing? Is there anything serious to worry about, like needing treatment or surgery?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I've had this cough for about 45 days now and didn't really think much of it at first. I assumed it was just a regular cough, but today it started hurting on the right side of my chest when I cough. I'm using dry cough syrup at the moment, but should I be taking any other precautions? How can I avoid this chest pain when I cough?
