Protection against reinfection?

2021-06-02 12:40:05
I had covid on April 15th. I went to ENT specialists thrice last week( May 25-29). I did an antibody test and it had IGM 5.1 and IGG 1.28. I am scared of reinfection as I have a scratchy throat since last week. Can I get reinfected?

Yes, there is a possibility. But, throat irritation need not necessarily mean re infection. It would be useful to get a consult to narrow down a cause.
