Breathing difficulty: If you have trouble breathing, please see acute care. Otherwise the chest wall muscles may be inflamed and Motrin may be used. Apply local heat, drink fluids and rest. If symptoms worsen, then re test for COVID 19.

Med eval: Medical assessment is the most prudent way to go. Did you already have a negative COVID 19 test, or are you assuming you had the Flu. Please be aware that a person could have both influenza and COVID 19 at the same time.
