Usually it takes 3 to 6 months for healing. Dont over exert urself. Do breathing exercise regularly..if u still feel SOB then u need to consult a pulmonologist.

It takes minimum 3months to disappearfor the ground glass opacities. However the lungs will heal by fibrosis. During the healing, heaviness of chest, pain, catching, congestion etc do happen. Nothing to worry. But you must not neglect.pl be in touch with Pulmonologist.
Shortness of breath, means, difficulty in breathing.breath is insufficient. Not able to take enough air.Breathlessness, means severity is more.un able to tolerate. They are used depending on the situation of the pt.As your ct was 14/25,it is better to consult Pulmonologist online with all the reports and treatment taken.
