My husband had severe cold from yesterday evening and from today morning he is having fever. From evening his temp is 100.Took the medicines prescribed by the doctor on practo. As we have 20 month kid for the safe side he had given for Covid test (rtpcr) today and it was negative. Will the test on 2nd day gives correct results? I'm worried as he is having fever still.
