I'm really worried because my husband tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. He went into home quarantine right away and also had a CT scan done of his chest. Right now, he only has a cough and some congestion. There's no fever or trouble breathing so far. Is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for to make sure he's handling it okay?

I'm really worried about my COVID results. My wife tested positive but then negative after 10 days of quarantine. Ive been having a cold and a nose blockage for a bit, and my RTPCR just came back positive with a CT value of 33, but I don't feel any symptoms now. Do you think I need to redo the test soon, and how much longer should I stay in quarantine? I'm kind of anxious about what to do next.

Patient is advised quarntine for 14 days. Also COVISHIELD vaccine for 3 doses is advised to the patient. Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice daily .
