Exam!: It’s not a normal part of the recovery process from Covid-19 to have a fever after 3 weeks. Your initial infection may not have subsided and you could also be suffering from another illness. I suggest you get a medical exam as soon as possible. I wish you well with your health!

Please seek eval: Although sequela from COVID 19 can last for weeks to months, in this situation in which your condition is worsening- it is important to get prompt evaluation.
