Slight cough with fever below 100

2021-04-12 13:18:36
My father has had cough from last 3 days. Not dry, not persistent. Has had fever since this afternoon and has immediately isolated himself. Fever was 99.1 in the afternoon and is 99.6 at the moment. He took crocin to subside the fever. He has had one shot of covid vaccine already. Should we go for a covid test?

I think you can wait. The temperature is within 100 , just give Dolo 650 mg twice daily with timely meals and enough rest.
Next Steps
No need for the test as of now
