Covid Re-test
I had covid test on day 2 after having symptoms like mild fever, sore throat and little difficulty in breathing. My test report came out to be negative.
Now its day 5 when i still have mild fever ( going up-down around 99), sore throat and last night i also got mild inflammation in chest while sleeping. I wanted to ask whether i should go for covid test again as my symptoms are not going away even when i am taking antibiotics and fever medication.

In think covid test once negative, that means there is no reason to repeat it again. Your throat infection could be due to some other viral or bacterial infection. Better consult a physician in clinic so that your throat and lungs can be examined.
