I have soar throt since last 35-40 days approx, I took some medicine by physician, like cenarest, and some other. Then I talked to ENT specialist , he gave me 10. Days antibiotic course . Its relife in my soar throt but still not fully resolved. Some time in night I feel quite nose blocked, but in morning it's feel good, past 2 days , u feld mild pain in chest, like cremp, or khichav in muscles. I have no travel history,no covid contact. last 1 month+ fully quaretine, . No fever, no cough. Inspite of this,My doubt is . Is there covid test required? And why it's getting long to soar throt to settle .and fully resolved.
And my question is,in how many days maximum covid symptoms come out, and what are those mostly. As I herard fever, cough and shortness of breath. Apart from this. Is only 1 symptoms , possible to confirm covid. Becoz I am living with my 11 month baby, so it's very necessary to me, confrim is it covid or viral flue infection.etc

Hi, good morning,
Such a long duration of sore throat is most often due tobsome chronic irritation to throat like due to acid reflux, allergies etc. At times it can be post infectious soreness as well. As far as your concern for COVID is concerned, from your inputes it's very unlikely that you are having the disease. On an average covid symptoms starts after 5 to 7 days of contacting the infection. And, even if it's mild, it shall recover by about 2 weeks time.
So in your case I don't feel that the COVID testing is required.
For proper diagnosis and treatment of your sore throat you can book a online consultation.
Thanks.
