Hi Turl speak to your gp about a 5 day course of steriods as you may still have inflammation.

If you’re getting ct scan then best to hold off on steroids. Might be better waiting until docs have had a look to see what the extent of any damage is still lingering.

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.

Hi it's just worrying the pain is in the same place and my chest seams to change like one day the pain next it could feel like there is phlegm there and it's like a raw feeling coming from my chest.

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
