I have had a fever that comes and goes for a week along with a mild dry cough. Given that I regularly take Voveran D for a long-term spinal arthritis condition (Ankylosing Spondylitis) and have already taken three PCM 650mg tablets and some Azithromycin, should I get tested for COVID-19, which test is best, and what should my next steps be?
Given your persistent fever and dry cough, it is best to get tested for COVID-19. The RT-PCR nasal/throat swab is the most accurate test. Since you are regularly taking Voveran D (diclofenac) for your spinal arthritis, and have already taken paracetamol and azithromycin, please consult your doctor immediately. Self-medicating, especially with antibiotics like azithromycin, requires professional supervision. Please isolate, monitor your oxygen levels, and rest while you wait for your doctor's guidance.
