Hello,

Don't rush
If symptoms increases then only need to do HRCT
But close monitoring needed
Simple test at home like 6 min walk test should be done.
Need more details to evaluate
Next Steps
consult me for further management

If u r asymptomatic or mild cough, CT is not advisable as there will be unnecessary radiation exposure
