Re infection of Covid

2021-06-05 08:43:32
Hi Doctor's i am Covid 19 recovered patient in home isolation i went to ent doctor for checkup for mouth ulcers he asked me to remove my mask and used some instruments to check my mouth, nose and ears. Since these will have been used to check other patients what's the chance of me getting infected with Covid 19 again. So what should I take as preventive medication ? Thanks

The instruments used would have been sterilized so unlikely of getting infected. Don't worry. Just make sure to wash your hands and follow all the usual safety protocols for Covid 19. No need for any preventive medicines.
