A member asked:
Had mild covid pneumonia three and half weeks ago. treated with azithromycin. have lingering dry cough that feels worse now. x-ray showed pneumonia is better, but now have cuffing in upper bronchial area. doc said maybe from irritation from coughing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The cuffing may be indicative of smooth muscle constriction. Discuss whether a trial of a bronchodilator and inhaled steroids is indicated. A PEFR test and a home log of readings is often useful in gauging improvement. While symptomatic, a pulmonary function test during COVID-19 is not usually performed due to possible aerosol generating particles.
