Covid positive
I have been tested positive today in RTPCR. I am 33 year old, obese with 104kg weight and 5'9 height.
Chronology:
3 days back: I had weakness and scratchy throat (which my physician told me is a throat infection from something oily that I have eaten). Hence started medication: Azal 250, Coldlas D and Vitamin Stay 4k)
2 days back: I had fever of 101.5 which after paracetamol also did not subside much. No scratchy throat
1 day back: Fever was at 99 throughout the day. Started feeling coughy.
Today: Fever is down to 98-98.5. But i have severe coughing which is infact paining my entire chest area when i cough. No other symptoms except minor blocked nose. I just tested myself few hours back with CT score of 17-18.
Questions:
1. Is there anything I should do here?
2. Also, I thought Ct value should have decreased after 3 days of symptoms. Does it mean I would get symptoms again?
