Regarding lung health

2021-06-19 18:09:15
It's been more than a month since I got tested covid negative. I was having lung infection with score of 14/25. I am taking no medicines now and feeling better. I want to see how my lungs have recovered but don't want to take risks of going to diagnostic center because of the risk of getting reinfected. Kindly suggest me that is it the right time to get crp and d dimer or should I still wai as chances are that lungs may not have been healed completely by now???

CRP, D dimer don’t represent the lung injury. The affected lung will gradually heal with time. If SpO2 is normal, and symptoms are under control, then no tests are necessary.
Next Steps
Lungs will improve with time. Blood tests and repeated CT scans are unnecessary.
Health Tips
Talk to a doctor if you face any problems. Have a healthy lifestyle.
