Yes and no: If there is a change from your regular symptoms it is possible in the presence of possible sick contact. Get your GP involved early if that is the case.

Dr heidi. I was just thinking should we nebulize daily to ensure that we do nrt have any breathing problems seeing that covid attacks your respiratory system. Or should we rather get inhalers if we struggle to breath.
2 months after having COVID I was diagnosed with asthma as I had inflammation in my lungs and my breath test was 89 but I was having anxiety that day and am also out of shape. I haven't used the inhalers but things have improved, do I have asthma?
