Exposed to covid 9/27. have sore throat, tested negative today. when should i re-test if symptom persist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are other causes of your symptoms, rule out Strep throat, but if the symptoms persist, a re test within a 10 day window is recommended. Watch for fever, worsening,cough and shortness of breath. Discuss a Flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine with your physician. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
