I'm really worried because I had a viral fever for about 5 days, hitting over 100 multiple times a day. It's been 10 days since my fever stopped, but I'm still feeling extremely weak day and night. Im constantly sleepy, and even walking around the house leaves me exhausted. Watching TV seems impossible because my eyes hurt and I feel drained. Can you tell me how I can overcome this weakness?

I'm really worried because someone I know tested positive for Covid and had symptoms. But after about 5 days, the symptoms went away. Do we really need to do another Covid test now, or is it okay to skip it since theyre feeling better? I'm just unsure if there's a risk, so some guidance would be really helpful.
