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.

Skin rashes can occur due to allergies, heat, sweat, or mild infections, and are not always linked to COVID. COVID can rarely present with rashes alone, but it is uncommon, especially if you have no fever or respiratory symptoms. Since you had COVID 6 months back, the chance of reinfection with only rash is low. Apply calamine lotion, wear loose cotton clothes, and stay hydrated. If you develop fever or cough, you can book a COVID RT PCR test. Otherwise, monitor at home.

View allI 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?

On day 6 after infection, I did an RTPCR test. Today is day 10, and my report has come back with a Ct value of 22/25. I do not have any significant symptoms now, and my sense of smell and taste are normal. Should I be concerned about this Ct value?

I have done a COVID 19 test, and my report came inconclusive. What should I do next? Should I repeat the test, and for how many days should I stay in isolation in the meantime? Please advise.
