Post covid symptoms
Hello Sir,
My husband had tested covid positive on 14th April and was out of isolation on 23rd day from onset of symptoms without repeating any rtpcr as per docs advise.
He had a ct score of 11/25 with Corads 6, hence he was on steroids till day before yesterday. It was stopped by gradually tapering the dose. He is still on anticoagulant med (for 6 weeks).
However, since yesterday he is having headache n the axillary temp is 99-99.5. Spo2 remains 98/99. We have taken an appointment for blood tests today will do. Really tensed. So just wanted to check
Is this normal post covid recovery? Anything serious to be checked for? Will he be still infectious? Thanks in advance.

Its not normal. Since, he has surpassed the recommended isolation period the chances of Covid 19 being infectious is low.
Need a detail history. Post steroid fever can be expected due to possible secondary infections

You can get the following tests done:
1. CRP
2. D-Dimer
3. Serum Ferritin Level
4. IL6
5. CBC
If the situation doesnt improve, get these test reports done on priority and consult a doctor. Weakness in covid takes time so you shouldn't get too worried, but at the same time it is important that we properly observe the patient and keep a healthy course of treatment for steady recovery.
If you notice any worsening symptoms, dont wait for the reports to come and consult a doctor. And remember worrying wont help, acting on the situation will.
