Hello , Your RTPCR test for COVID might turn out to be false negative! Certain strains of the virus are also being undetectable in the normal RTPCR test ! Kindly repeat the same along with COVID 19 antibody levels in your blood ! Start isolating yourself and get people around you tested ! Start having tab paracetamol 1000 mg in case of fever , increase your fluid intake for the day , have Ors . Along with it have tab montair LC at bedtime and have multivitamin plus multimineral supplements ! Do not initiate antibiotics before the test results appear as they may lead to resistance in future . Irrespective of the results get yourself checked by a specialist physician !
Next Steps
