I'm worried because I've had a throat infection and fever since Sunday morning, which began two days after I went swimming. I'm also experiencing night sweats and a blocked throat when I wake up. I started taking Combiflam on Monday morning, but it's Tuesday night now, and I'm still not feeling any better. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about? Should I be doing anything else to help with these symptoms?

-It sounds like you might have caught a throat infection after swimming. The night sweats and throat block could be signs of an infection or inflammation. Since you've been taking Combiflam, it's helping with the pain, but if the symptoms persist or worse

I tested positive for Covid 19 back on May 11th, and my CT value was 23 at that time. I've been feeling completely fine and symptom-free for the past 9 days, and my sense of smell is back. When would be the right time for me to get tested again?

Since you've fully recovered and have no symptoms for the last 9 days, you generally don't need to get retested unless required for specific reasons, such as travel or a medical procedure. If you're feeling fine and not in a high-risk situation, you can safely move forward without further testing.

I've been experiencing some discomfort with a slight pain in my left rib area, and lately, I've started feeling cold and have a light cough with some mucus. I think the rib pain might be caused by my posture since I've been spending a lot of time working on my laptop. Could you offer some advice on what steps I should take to feel better?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
