COVID test report
I had tested positive for covid on 28th April 2021 and followed medications from a doctor from practo and been isolated till today . Yesterday I retested and got the results positive again today and I clearly have no symptoms . In my first report the CT value is 32 and in my second report it is 30. When I consulted a pathologist from wherever I tested , the doctor is saying the CT value should increase after recovery but not decrease and he is saying the report might be wrong and asking me to take test from some other lab ..
what should I do now ? Please assist .

RTPCR still positive means that the viral load titres have not yet reduced to the undetectable levels.
Continue your isolation and repeat RTPCR testing after a week.
I suppose you meant CRP value and not CT value when your are talking about 32 and 30. CT score is calculated out of 25.
Next Steps
Self isolation and clinical correlation

Sometimes you may get a false positive report, wait for a day or two and get tested again from a different lab.
