How to diagnose COVID 19 at the early stage?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
One can only diagnose it by recognising symptoms and getting oneself tested within 3-5 days of the onset of Covid 19 infection.
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Take a Immunoglobulin - IgM Test or Take a ENA Test (Extractable Nuclear Antigen) Test

View allMy husband has taken a COVID test three times over the last three days at two different labs. Two tests came back positive with CT values of 28 and 32, while one test was negative. I am very confused about these results and cannot determine whether he is actually positive or negative. Please advise.

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?

My report came negative after 14 days of isolation. I would like to know if any precautions need to be taken and for how long, as I have a 3 year old son. Also, my mother in law and father in law are at home. It has been a total of 17 days now. Is any medication required post COVID? When will smell or taste resume? I had a mild infection with no fever or cold before testing. I am also experiencing leg pain, dryness in throat and nose, and weakness post COVID. Am I still infectious? Blood tests including D dimer were fine and oxygen level is 96+. Please suggest?
