I'm really worried because my mom has had a dry cough for the past four days along with a sore throat. I found out that some people in her office tested positive for COVID, even though she wasnt in direct contact with them. Should we consider getting her tested for corona?

I took a testoviron injection yesterday and I'm not seeing any rashes, but the injection site is pretty painful. What should I do about this? Any advice would really help!
It's normal to feel some pain at the injection site after a Testoviron shot. You can gently apply a warm compress to ease discomfort and ensure the area stays clean. If the pain worsens or swelling occurs, consult your doctor.

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.
