Question 1

From 19th April he was suffering from fever. Test report shows COVID 19 positive and CRP 12. Fever lasted for 3 days and then became normal. He was having no smell but is now improving. It has been almost 17 days. Does he require RT PCR test or any other test to be done? Can he now live normally? Please advise.

Question 2

My father tested COVID 19 positive on 26 July (sample taken on 23 July). After home isolation and treatment, he was retested on 12 August, and the report came today (13 August). The interpretation says 2019 nCoV negative, but I am confused about the MS2 gene detected part. Is he still contagious? Does he need to continue home isolation for a few more days?

Question 3

I went to have a COVID test 5 days ago because I had certain symptoms. That day, I was put in a hospital ward with others who had similar symptoms and were admitted after the test. The next day, my test results came back negative. However, I did spend 1 day in that ward. On the discharge slip, doctors advised me to stay in isolation for 10 days, even though my test report was negative. I want to ask if there is a significant chance of getting COVID by staying in a COVID dedicated ward for one day? I wore a surgical mask the whole time. After coming back, I changed my clothes but did not bathe as I was having a fever. Today is the 5th day, and I am a little scared because I read that most patients develop COVID symptoms between days 5 and 10.

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.
