Summary

A Reddit user who had COVID-19 in November 2020 describes lungs that have not been the same since, with bearable congestion on some days and a burning sensation on others. A prescribed inhaler did nothing but give them thrush. In early March 2021 they were still asking how others had relieved the pain and congestion.
