Hypothyroid: Ask his primary doctor to run a lab test to make sure normal thyroid function. In a person with a slow thyroid gland, it is possible for them to have a lower body temperature and cold intolerance.

My husband and 4 year tested positive November 15th +/-. My 3 month old was negative however he was pretty sick and his pediatrician felt like he really had it. I had some symptoms like aches and ear ache and lost smell. I never got tested as I was told to presume I was positive. I currently feel pretty bad with stopped up nose and body aches and have temp of 100.1. Can I get it again or do you think I need to get tested??? Covid 19?
