But he is still having some sore throat and sometimes fever at night. He is taking azee 500 1 daily for sore throat and dolo for fever. Is this seasonal flu as rtpcr came negative???

Positive RTPCR indicates confirm positive but negative report does not exclude the disease . Based on clinical symptom and supportive investigation can only be excluded. Consult to clinician
