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.

My father tested COVID 19 positive on 26 July (sample taken on 23 July). After home isolation and treatment, he was retested on 12 August, and the report came today (13 August). The interpretation says 2019 nCoV negative, but I am confused about the MS2 gene detected part. Is he still contagious? Does he need to continue home isolation for a few more days?

I was tested for COVID 19 on the 3rd and 7th day after coming in contact with a COVID positive person. Both tests were negative, although I had a bad sore throat at the time. On the 10th day, I experienced reduced sense of smell and a fever of 99.4 degrees F in the afternoon. I started following a COVID protocol, and today is my 13th day. I no longer have a sore throat, but sometimes I still get a fever of 99.4 degrees F. When should I test again, and how long will it take for me to fully recover?
