Do I need CT scan?
I have been infected with Covid for 18 days now and have been undergoing treatment. I still have fever in the range of 99.1 and am feeling mild breathlessness. Considering the risks of CT scan my doctor did not ask for a CT scan and started me on Foracort 400. Do I need to ask my doctor for a CT scan?
