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?

Persistent fever and dry cough post vaccine needs evaluation. Rule out COVID and urinary infection. Take a COVID RT PCR and urine culture test.

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?

My RTPCR test was negative, but my husband test was positive. Since yesterday, I have been experiencing mild cough and body aches, but no fever. What should be my next steps?

My family tested positive for COVID 19. My father and mother RTPCR reports show high viral load, my report shows low viral load, and the other family members reports indicate mild COVID. Could you please suggest treatment or prescription for us? We need guidance on what to do next.
