Now it has been 5 days i am having no medicine and 15 days of testing positive . I am eating properly no issues
Should i go for testing again now ?

there is no need of a repeat RTPCR...
there are chances of contracting the infection again but after around 4 weeks.. you still have to take all the precautions..
