Should she get RT PCR?
My mother had little itchy throat on Sunday night with slight headache. The throat got fine at night itself but she is sometimes experiencing slight headache since then and Very less weakness type fatigue after working in kitchen since today morning. Although there is no other symptom but just wanted an idea could it be Covid?
She has no contact with outsider except me who last went to office on Saturday. I and my dad (who is 60+) both have not even slightest of the symptom.
Should she go for test now or could it be cold, she lives in noida and it's very cold here.

It could be covid, don't take any chance and get her tested as soon as possible, if she cannot leave then ask some near by laboratory if they can come to your place or book online, whichever is earliest and suitable to your situation, and isolate yourself in another room from them, if you frequently go out as they are vulnerable due to age and take good care of them like maintain their hydration, asking them to wear double surgical mask and you should also wear double mask, it has a huge role in the percentage of transmission of virus. Try to keep them warm by room heater, giving kadha with ginger, tulsi leaves, bay leaves, pepper, cardomom, turmeric powder.
For some more home remedies, you can consult me privately here on practo and for any further queries and medication regarding covid if they come out positive( which I hope they don't) you can contact me here on practo or privately on my number 8895_9099_75

Considering her age , if the prodromal symptoms are developing and easy fatiguablity is persistent . I would strongly suggest you to do a rtpcr on day 3. At times it can be asymptomatic aswell . To be on safer side testing can be done at earliest for better outcome .
