Talk to General Physician on Chest Pain And Cough
Asking For Self, Male, 31 Years old, Rawalpindi
I was diagnosed with COVID-19, 17 days ago. Now I have recovered from it but now I have chest pain and cough. I am still isolated. On the 7th day of isolation, I lost my sense of smell which restored after 3 days. Some doctors said that I can come out of isolation 5 days after sense of smell is restored. Now as I have chest pain and cough, I wanted to confirm if I still have Coronavirus? Or is this chest pain and cough just the after effects of Corona? My chest X-Ray is attached. Thankyou
When was last time fever was recorded.
You can end the isolation as you are fever free for more than a week. But you will have to follow precautionary measures like mask and gloves and hand washing strictly.

Yes there is a possibility, so instead of getting yourself tested again. I recommend my patients to wear mask and gloves. European guidelines don't encourage testing again and again.
