Question 1

I am traveling to Nagpur on 9th September, and my second vaccine dose is scheduled for 28th August. Since Maharashtra requires a negative RTPCR test for entry, I plan to take the RTPCR test on 7th September. Will my RTPCR report show positive because I took the vaccine dose on 28th August, or will it be negative?

Question 2

All members of my in laws household, except my husband, are COVID positive and symptomatic. The first infection symptoms in a member and my husband exposure to the virus started on 14th. Today is 19th, and my husband has not developed any symptoms. He is the only asymptomatic person with a negative RT PCR test done on 16th, even though he is in close contact with all members 24x7 in the same house. This has got me worried as I am at a different place. What can be the reason? What should be done? PS: My husband had COVID last September during the first wave, but his antibody test report came negative in December.

Question 3

I am having rashes on my skin, mainly on the neck, thighs, and underarms. I do not have fever, cold, cough, or any other symptom of COVID. Can skin rashes be the only symptom, and should I test for COVID? I already had COVID 6 months ago. It was mild, and I was isolated at home. Please let me know if you have an answer to the above query. Thanks in advance.

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.

Prescription cannot be given, but general advice: isolate, hydrate, rest. Monitor oxygen more than 94 percent. Take paracetamol for fever. Consult doctor for meds if symptoms worsen.
