I'm really worried because someone I know tested positive for Covid and had symptoms. But after about 5 days, the symptoms went away. Do we really need to do another Covid test now, or is it okay to skip it since theyre feeling better? I'm just unsure if there's a risk, so some guidance would be really helpful.

I'm a bit unsure about how to use these ear drops for wax that I got from the chemist. Theyre called Drep Wax drops, but there's no information on the bottle about how many drops I should be using. Could you let me know how to go about using them?
You can instill 3 drops three times a day,do not attempt to remove the wax by your self,let it come out on its own.
