Medications like Dolo (paracetamol) and Doxy (doxycycline). Please be assured that this positive test does not mean you have a new infection. Initially, the virus may have settled deeper in your lungs, which explains the chest CT findings despite negative nasal swabs. Now, as your body recovers, harmless viral fragments are being shed and detected by the RT-PCR. A CT value of 29 indicates a low viral load, which is very common during this recovery phase and typically means you are no longer highly infectious.
