Post covid respiratory physiotherapy is essential.
You can buy a spirometer and practice breathe in with upright position and breathe out with upside down.
Each should be done for 10 times twice a day.
It should be done in empty stomach.
Keep the spirometer in good hygenic condition to avoid complications like pneumonia..
