Regarding monitoring of lung health
I was tested covid positive on 8 april and got a negative report on 4 may.
During the start I was having breathlessness and my spo2 was in the range of 92-96...once it went 88 too.
I underwent HRCT which showed Corad 4 scale infection with CT score 14/25.
I was on steroids for three days and I am recovering now...it's been 2 months and I feel almost normal with normal spo2 levels.
I want to know when can I expect my lung infection to be completely healed and if I want to monitor my lung health,can I undergo an x-ray or some other tests...kindly suggest??

Each person's lung heals in different ways. But most of them heal completely by 3 months. No point doing investigations on between. Just do a CT scan after 2 months.
