Pulmonary function testing, a chest radiograph may be helpful. Post COVID-19 some patients do experience shortness of breath, wheezing and potentially fibrotic changes of the lung. A course of oral steroids should be considered. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and dizziness. A Flu vaccine is recommended.
