A week back I started off with a severe headache that lasted for a day. From day 2 I have been having a low grade fever that ranges from 99 to 99.5. I'm on day 8 and still having the fever. I have also been having untimely bowel movements that is neither constipation nor diarrhea and a mild sore throat. Sore throat is 95% resolved. But the fever and digestion issues still exist. I tested negative for covid on day 4 of my symptoms. How should I deal with my situation? My family members also went through a series of cold like symptoms during the same time.

Dear lybrate-user if you were initially covid positive and are now negative, continue with paracetamol for fever. A cbc can be done to see if any bacterial infection is present and then antibiotics may be started. For bowel problems you can start a probiotic ,tat will help. Do contact personally if you need a prescription take care.
