My 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.

Two positive tests outweigh one negative. CT values suggest moderate viral load. He should be considered COVID positive. Please repeat RTPCR if needed for clearance.

View allI developed a dry cough on 13 May and had a fever of 100.1F on 14 May, which continued on 15 and 16 May. I took paracetamol 650 mg every 6 hours, but the fever kept returning. On 17 May, I had no fever, but on 18 May, I again had a fever of 100.1F in the evening. On 19 May, I had no fever. I have been taking Muceder 600 and using an inhaler twice a day. Are these medicines suitable for a COVID patient? I got an RTPCR test on 16 May, and my report came on 19 May. How should I count my COVID infection days or isolation period? I do not have a sore throat, and I can still smell, taste, and feel hungry

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 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?
