Summary
Hill 40993 tested positive for COVID a little over five weeks before posting and then had a cough and shortness of breath that would not quit. They suspected bronchitis or pneumonia, were given antibiotics, steroids, heartburn medication and Tessalon Perles, and used an asthma inhaler and Singulair with some relief. Providers dismissed them because oxygen and lungs were normal, though walking a block made them cough.
