Image: I would suggest a chest x ray and evaluation, which is offered at the hospital. Please call ahead to let the triage nurse know about your symptoms. COVID 19 pulmonary infection may be quite serious and may worsen rapidly, please do not delay. Avoid Motrin and NSAIDs until recovered.

COVID 19: Actually, if you are having difficulty breathing - I recommend that you contact a physician before this gets worse. Don't risk your health.
