COVID POSITIVE
So yesterday I tested covid positive after 7 day of isolation in hostel after coming back from home. But two days before whole of my family tested and they came out negative back at home. And I wasn't in contact with anybody. Anyways I also got two doses of Covaxin (1st on 18th April, 2nd on 22nd May). I tested positive yesterday (5th June) with a CT value 31. I don't have any symptoms as of now. What should I expect in coming few days? I'm having fruits, milk, eggs n proper diet alongside Zincovit And Limcee (1tab each per day) What else can I do ? Thank you

Continue taking medication as prescribed. Post covid recovery weakness may be present,  but will eventually subside within 1 month with proper care, rest & medications. Monitor your Spo2, BP, temp. If all within normal limits without associated high grade fever, breathlessness, cough, diarrhoea etc then no need to worry. Take Luke warm water gargle. Steam inhalation.
