If the soreness is getting better, even if slowly, you may watch and wait. Wish you good health!

A chest image is recommended if there is worsening or trouble breathing. Since you are feeling better, the application of a heating pad to the area is often effective in reducing musculoskeletal tenderness due to coughing. Post COVID recovery may be prolonged and if there is shortness of breath, please also see a PCP. COVID 19 vaccination and booster series is recommended.
