I've just got my lung x-ray results back and it mentioned mild patchy consolidations in my bilateral lung fields. This definitely sounds concerning, doesn't it? I'm really curious to know what it all means. Do these findings indicate something serious? Should I be worried about this and what steps should I take next? Looking forward to your guidance.

I've been dealing with some leftover issues after my covid recovery about two months ago, and I'm worried. I was diagnosed with Corad 4 lung infection, and at the worst, my severity score was 1425. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for the green glass opacities and consolidation in the lungs to heal and disappear completely. I generally feel okay, but there are times when I have to breathe with a bit of extra effort, and I occasionally feel a heaviness in my chest. Is this something normal? Also, I'm a bit confused about what breathlessness means in the context of covidis it supposed to be like shortness of breath or more about having difficulty in breathing? Can you give me some clarity on this?

breathlessness means difficulty in breathing. it will take time to resolve the opacities

I'm reaching out because I previously asked about this and got a response saying that the Seretide Accuhaler has no side effects. But my brother has been using it, and he's having a tough time with what seem to be side effects. I'm really worried and wondering if there's an alternative treatment he could try. Can you help with some advice?
