Post covid questions
Hi,
I had covid in the month of May 23rd 2021. I was home isolated and took proper medications for more than a month. Now am getting cough from last 2 days. Is it because of some issues with post covid or because of weather changes. I took a Thorax CT scan in the month of July after my treatment completed for covid. CT score was 1 at that time and no other symptoms found. Is it required to take any xray now for this cough or taking cough syrup is enough.
Note: In the year Feb 2012, admitted to a hospital for Typhoid and doctors diagnosed that was affected with TB and in a first stage (starting phase). Took treatment for 6 months and did a xray and found all issues were resolved. Will this TB reoccur again?
Please help me in resolving this confusions.
Thnak you
