Question 1

I and my family tested positive 5 days ago and we got admitted in the hospital the same day. My sister did not have symptoms for the first three days but later after medication she developed flu, cold, cough, nausea and extreme tiredness. She also feels shortness of breath but her oxygen level is constantly 99. Why is her body getting worse day by day? Even after injection she feels tired and fatigued. Her CT and blood report are normal and she has no fever. She is 26 years old. Does she have any problem?

Question 2

I took the first dose of Covishield on 30th April. Since then, I have been suffering from fever around 102 degrees F and a dry cough. I have not received my COVID test report yet. I have a history of fever from a urinary infection. Can you please provide advice?

Question 3

About a month ago, I had a throat infection that lasted for 25 days. My doctor said it was a viral infection and did not recommend any tests. After I recovered, I decided to do a COVID antibody test on my own. The report shows IgG negative but total antibodies positive. I am now feeling fine. Does this mean I had a COVID infection, or can other viral infections also show total antibodies positive? Was my doctor wrong in diagnosing it as a non COVID viral infection?

On day 6 after infection, I did an RTPCR test. Today is day 10, and my report has come back with a Ct value of 22/25. I do not have any significant symptoms now, and my sense of smell and taste are normal. Should I be concerned about this Ct value?

CT value less than 25 suggests high viral load but absence of symptoms is reassuring. Isolate for 10 days total or as per local guidelines.
