A member asked:

If you are tested positive for covid-19, and your fever keeps going up daily (100 to 101 to 102 to 103), what should you do if all other symptoms remain the same?

Consider chest image: Pneumonia may occur and if you continue to spike fevers, please see your PCP for a chest image and reevaluation. Testing for additional bacterial and viral causes may be performed at the same time. Stay at home at least for three days after the fever has broken and avoid contact with others.

Supportive treatment: If it is fever you take tylenol. If develop cough you take cough medication. If severe shortness of breath you need to go to ER for the inpatient treatment. Remember people with positive test may not have symptoms at all but still they shed virus to their contacts.
