Testing for covid
I was down with fever and headache. Had sore throat also. With dolo 650 for 2 days and solvin cold for one day and lozenges for throat, am better now with no fever/ headache for more than 24 hours. Have some runny nose but not unmanageable. Am eating solids and keeping myself hydrated. I also check my spo2 regularly.
Just heard that I am a primary contact of a covid positive person (exposure sometime last week - at least 5 days back). I was not aware of this before.
Should I get a covid test now or do it if I get any other symptoms?
Is normal diet fine or should I take any tablets like zinc and others.

It may be better to get tested and isolate if positive to avoid spreading it further and also to have a cause if you have further problems down the Lane. Lateral flow test is quick. If positive no need to test further. If negative better to confirm with pcr. Better to isolate till final result is known.

I feel there is no use getting a Covid test done.
If you get the test done and the report is positive , all that you will need is home isolation. That you can practice even now without any test.
It is already a week and you had symptoms of viral fever only, and that too is clear now.
