Respected Doctors! I am writing this seeking your advice and guidance. My mom has been sick for almost 9 days. It was first started with mild fever. Then followed cough. She had diarrhea too which was not that bad and it got OK after 24 hours. Now she feels very fatigued and complains of head ache mainly in the eye area. I have been checking her body temperature since the third of this sick period. But, she doesn't have any fever till date. And the oximeter reading also is fine. Does that mean she is not suffering from covid-19 and not worry about PCR test? Thank you for your valuable time. Manoj Maharjan

Dear Manoj Ji, your mother symptoms match COVID 19 disease. I would suggest to get a PCR test. If negative, no further inervention required. If positive, please test her close contacts so that they don't transfer the infection to others.
