Ya probability of false negative report for covid is high with rapid kit tests. Get RTPCRcovid test this time. Do not panic. Proper diet n basic exercises give good immunity to fight against. Use otrivin nasal drops , steam inhalation for cold. Take online consultation after getting ur RTPCR report
