Summary
They had mild COVID-19 in July 2022 with a dry cough, breathlessness and fatigue. In October 2022 a whistling sound when breathing and shortness of breath appeared without other illness, and they were later told they had seasonal asthma. Two inhalers and steroids from their doctor did not clear it. They blamed COVID for the asthma and still had breathlessness in December 2022.
