Specializes in Psychiatry

Which testing?: If you had COVID toes for two months - either the COVID 19 PCR test or antibody test after the fact, should have picked up on it. Covid toes usually resolve on their own with a few weeks.

Unlikely: Covid toes are not likely to last 2 months, you would have recovered or you would have gotten sicker. Wish you good health!
