Coughing and fever

2021-04-25 13:50:44
My friend had severe dry cough for 2 days continuously and afterwards developed fever as high as 103.5. He underwent RT-PCR test and the report came out negative. He took medicines and was back to normal within 5 days. However, after about another 2 weeks, he again started coughing (dry) and developed fever. What can be the cause and what tests should we perform?
