Cough and pain in chest

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

Hi doctor, A month ago I was tested positive for COVID19 and tested negative on 5th May. After recovering, I have developed hypoxia(SpO2 @88) although recovered from it by next couple of days(SpO2 @96-99). At present I'm experiencing a dry cough and pain in the chest, specialy around right lower front of the lungs, center area and around the left armpit. What can it be? Is it a sign of onset of condition like post covid pulmonary fibrosis? I haven't developed fever after 5th May and other symptoms have improved or vanished completely. I haven't done any blood tests or CT scans yet. Thank you
