I am having rashes on my skin, mainly on the neck, thighs, and underarms. I do not have fever, cold, cough, or any other symptom of COVID. Can skin rashes be the only symptom, and should I test for COVID? I already had COVID 6 months ago. It was mild, and I was isolated at home. Please let me know if you have an answer to the above query. Thanks in advance.

Skin rashes can occur due to allergies, heat, sweat, or mild infections, and are not always linked to COVID. COVID can rarely present with rashes alone, but it is uncommon, especially if you have no fever or respiratory symptoms. Since you had COVID 6 months back, the chance of reinfection with only rash is low. Apply calamine lotion, wear loose cotton clothes, and stay hydrated. If you develop fever or cough, you can book a COVID RT PCR test. Otherwise, monitor at home.

View allI 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?

In an emergency situation, I accompanied a boy to the hospital after he fell from a building. Five hours later, he was declared COVID 19 positive. We were shocked because his main issues were trauma related, with loss of consciousness and inability to use his hands and legs. How reliable are RTPCR and Rapid Antigen Test results in such situations? How does this affect people like us who were asymptomatic but in close contact? Can an asymptomatic person spread COVID 19, and if yes, for how many days are they contagious?

Hi, We took a chest X ray and blood report. We need suggestions on whether she has COVID 19. If she does, should she be admitted to the hospital or can stay in home quarantine? Her CRP value is 14.
