Image lab resolution: Healthtap offers a virtual consultation and you may upload reports and images for a second opinion. The pneumonia may take weeks to resolve on the imaging study, and should be correlated to his clinical recovery and symptoms. Watch for signs of recurrent respiratory symptoms and fever. Follow up closely with your PCP.

COVID 19 infection: Please be aware that resolution on Chest X-ray may lag behind clinical improvement. Also know that people with moderate to severe pneumonia may have continued sequela for weeks to months after resolution of acute infection.
