Serum galactomannan is a blood test and
Nasal swab for KOH mount are two tests for fungal infections.
Your post covid recovery phase will last for 3 months.
Everybody recovers at their own pace.
Give your body time to recover fully.
You will have decreased exercise capacity and difficulty in breathing as your lungs are still recovering from infection and they cannot tolerate any extra work load on them.
Start working slowly and do only as much as you can tolerate.
Next Steps
only swollen feet need further evaluation.
check : blood pressure and
kidney function test(creatinine)
Health Tips
monitor saturation thrice a day.
you have overcome the acute phase of the infection and now let your body heal completely.
don't hurry and don't worry ✌
