Can you advice me on medicines to get rid of post-COVID effects?
Hello doctor,
I am a 35-year-old male, and I just got recovered from COVID-19. However, according to the chest CT scan, I have atypical pneumonia and a CT severity score of 4/25. At times, I feel chest heaviness, and sometimes there is a breathing problem, especially in the evening. There is also fever, sometimes around 99.5 degrees. Can you please advice me the medicines I should take to recover from post-COVID effects?

Can I get COVID vaccine if I have a regular high temperature at night for one month post COVID?
Hello doctor,
I am a 35-year-old female. I was tested positive for COVID-19 one month ago and was hospitalized for six days. After that, I was completely normal and also did a post-COVID health checkup after seven days and was perfectly normal.
But, after COVID, I regularly have a high temperature of 99.0 F to 99.4 F for a few hours at night. I am mentally upset due to this mild fever. Is it a post-COVID effect? Is it a matter of concern? If it is a post-COVID effect, can I recover fully? My second dose of the COVID vaccine was due before 20 days. When can I take my second dose?
Thanks.

What does chronic mild interstitial prominence in the chest x-ray report reveal?
Hello doctor,
I recently went to the emergency room (ER) because of the worst shortness of breathe within seconds while lying down. I have never had this in my life, and it lasted several minutes before it started to go away gradually. I felt like I was suffocating and came close to losing consciousness. When they did x-rays, they told me that I had pneumonia. But the test results were mild central interstitial prominence, which appears chronic in nature, and the doctor did not even bring up to me. When I got back home from the hospital, the severe shortness of breath started occurring again. But rolling on my side before it became full-blown had made it stop. What does mild central interstitial prominence, which appears chronic in nature, even mean, and what could cause it? When I searched for it on the internet, it directs me to interstitial lung disease. Kindly guide me. I am currently on Diclofenac sodium EC 75 mg, Bupropion SR 200 mg, Quetiapine 50 mg, Sertraline 100 mg, levofloxacin 500 mg, Pantoprazole EC 20 mg, Baclofen 10 mg, Cyclobenzaprine 10 mg, Hydroxyzine HCl 25 mg.
