If the HRCT was done 25 days back, 15 days after the start of covid-19, this is not post covid, then he was still in covid recovery phase. Post covid cough may lasts for up to 3 months. Other causes can be fungal/bacterial/ activation of latent bronchial asthma or COPD. If it is troubling, he needs proper assessment, otherwise ignore it.
