COVID/flu screen: A virtual consultation is recommended. Pneumonia may result in upper chest and back pain. Monitor your blood oxygen levels and follow up with your PCP. A COVID and Flu screening is recommended. Please obtain a COVID and Flu vaccination. Consider a sputum culture and ruling out TB. Stay well hydrated, drink fluids and rest.
