I've tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday but having dry cough since two days at regular intervals. Is it a cause of worry? Should I get hospitalised?

For only this symptom no hospitalization is needed only in the name of being covid positive. - You can take symptomatic treatment in home - Keep yourself isolated in home so as to keep safe other family members, as there symptoms (on being covid positive) may vary as per their immunity and some other factors - For Dry cough: Take these medicines for 5 days 1) Syp. Dextromethorphan 10ml BD 2) Tab Amoxicillin 500mg BD 3) Tab Pantop 40 1OD - For better immunity and capability of fighting against infection: 4) Tab Limcee 1OD 5) Tab Zinconia 1OD

Your hospitalization will depend on Oxygen concentration. Otherwise you can take routine medicines like Paracetamol, Vit C, zinc, Azythromycin and Cough syrup.
