Ask the Doctor

Is this covid-19 infection?

Published by

A few days ago, I came down with cold, catarrh, joint pains, and fever which did not improve after taking some antimalarial drugs.  I am wondering if I can still have Covid infection after taking three anti-Covid vaccinations? I am a 60 year- old retired teacher and I hardly go out of the house.

It will therefore advisable for you to be treated for this while a test for Covid infection can confirm your correct diagnosis.
