Chances of lungs fibrosis after covid
Hi doctor,
I have completed 21 days of covid. My ct scan on day of admission showed 30-40% lungs involve with ground galssy and crazy paving pattern. I was given treatment as per covid guidelines i.e. steriod for 16 days.i was not on oxygen suport during admission My sp02 is maintained well so far and even after 6 min of work. I am bit scared if I can develop lungs fibrosis... My age is 32. Please suggest what are mine chances of developing lungs fibrosis and if it happen then how long would I survive ??
