Xray in covid day 7
My mother tested covid positive and today is day 7 of fever. Blood reports are almost normal (CRP-7) and Spo2 is 99% with no fever. She is feeling pain in chest while coughing (dry). Will chest xray help or should we go for HRCT?

Occasional dry cough may persist upto 2 months post viral infection. If spo2 is fine, no fever, chest x ray is sufficient. If symptomatically worsening, then go for HRCT
