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?

After 14 to 17 days and a negative report, youre non infectious. Continue resting, hydrate well, and eat nutritious food. Mild symptoms like leg pain and taste/smell loss can take 2 to 6 weeks to resolve. No specific meds needed unless symptoms worsen.

My daughter is 1 year old, and my recent test report came positive. How should I take care of my daughter in this situation to keep her safe?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I and my family tested positive 5 days ago and we got admitted in the hospital the same day. My sister did not have symptoms for the first three days but later after medication she developed flu, cold, cough, nausea and extreme tiredness. She also feels shortness of breath but her oxygen level is constantly 99. Why is her body getting worse day by day? Even after injection she feels tired and fatigued. Her CT and blood report are normal and she has no fever. She is 26 years old. Does she have any problem?
