Coronavirus
Hi Turl speak to your gp about a 5 day course of steriods as you may still have inflammation.
Hi BreatheasyBe don't really no what to do next thats why i am having ct scan, had this now for about 5 to 6 weeks very uncomfortable with pain in my back ,somtimes spreading to right lung ,and some times phlegmy thanks for your advice.
Are you coughing anything up....if so is the mucus discoloured or clear.
I know it’s a difficult time for consultations, but has your mucus been checked to see if there is any residual infection.
Take care
My brother who is a paramedic had Covid about the same time as you is still having intermittent chest pains. However after numerous tests only inflammation was found. He said that he knew others that had longer times recovering.
Sorry I missed this earlier Turl, I would have said talk again with your doctor, hospital adviser, hope the CT scan results are ok and you are soon feeling better.
Best wishes
Good luck with ct scan.hope it gets to root of problem x
