It is highly unlikely that you may have gotten COVID-19 infection again. However it is theoretically possible as there are different strains of the virus available in the larger population now. It could be due to a different respiratory virus or a bacterial infection that is causing the symptoms you have right now. Have evaluation done by a clinician for more accurate diagnosis.

Your symptoms could be from a variety of causes that include bacterial infections or viral infections to potentially include a different strain of COVID 19. The only way to know for sure is via medical assessment and testing.
