I got my RT PCR test done 2 days ago, and the result shows a score of 33.74. Can you tell me if this is considered mild positive or not? Also, what medicines should I be taking?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's tested positive for COVID, and hes been feeling unwell for about a week now. We got him tested two days ago, and he had a fever and body aches for three days, but now his symptoms aren't as bad. His CT value in the RTPCR test came back as 16. Does that mean there's a high rate of infection? Is he at greater risk for lung infection with that CT value? Should we be doing any more tests to figure out if the virus load is low or high? I'm just not sure what to do next.
A CT value of 16 indicates a higher viral load, suggesting active infection. While a higher viral load can sometimes be associated with a greater chance of complications like lung involvement, the absence of severe symptoms is a positive sign. Further testing, such as a chest X-ray or CT scan, might be considered to assess lung health, but its essential to monitor his condition closely. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

I've been having a mild fever around 99F, a stuffy nose, a little cough, and feeling a bit tired. I've been taking paracetamol and cozyplus for it, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should do or if this is something to worry about?
Alright, take rest and drink water adequately.

I'm a bit worried about my body temperature. It usually stays around 98 to 98.7 in the morning but goes up to 99 by late afternoon, then drops back to 98.7 around 9 pm and stays there. It's been like this since April 10. For a couple of days in between, my temperature didn't go above 98.7. I haven't taken any meds for fever. Could this be something like typhoid or malaria? I haven't been able to get a blood test because of the whole corona situation. What do you think might be going on?
sometimes dueto hormonal changes also there's is change in temperature. Drink plenty of water and avoid stress as much as you can
