What do I do if I am covid positive?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Isolate yourself in a room especially the first 7 days because during this time a patient is most infections. Keep the room ventilated and wear a high quality mask. Do not travel. Eat small healthy meals frequentely to fight the virus.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a PT INR Test (Prothrombin Time) Test or Take a Varicella-IgM (Chicken Pox) Test

View allI developed a dry cough on 13 May and had a fever of 100.1F on 14 May, which continued on 15 and 16 May. I took paracetamol 650 mg every 6 hours, but the fever kept returning. On 17 May, I had no fever, but on 18 May, I again had a fever of 100.1F in the evening. On 19 May, I had no fever. I have been taking Muceder 600 and using an inhaler twice a day. Are these medicines suitable for a COVID patient? I got an RTPCR test on 16 May, and my report came on 19 May. How should I count my COVID infection days or isolation period? I do not have a sore throat, and I can still smell, taste, and feel hungry

Since this afternoon, I have developed cough and mild cold, and by evening, a sore throat with the urge to clear my throat. I do not have fever, body pain, or weakness. I visited my general physician, who said it is likely viral. However, I recently came into close contact with someone who had a cold, although they are fine now. Do I need to get tested? Please advise. I am fully vaccinated and have previously recovered from COVID19.

I recently tested positive for COVID 19 three days ago, and my report shows a CT value of 19.2. I am almost asymptomatic, with only a slight dry cough and occasional mild headache, but no fever. What does this CT value mean, and when should I get tested again to check if I am negative?
