Symptoms...: She needs to monitor her symptoms. If she develops symptoms like shortness of breath, blue discoloration to lips/fingers/toes, high fever, excessive sleepiness, then she should seek immediate medical attention (call 911). If her symptoms continue improving, that is a good sign. She should be under the care of a physician who can monitor her condition remotely. Best wishes to both of you!!
