COVID 19: Many people have experienced significant pulmonary scarring due to COVID 19 infections. However, if your chronic sequela from infection is now worsening - I would promptly consult with a medical provider. Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face or new-onset of confusion.
