Asking for Other, Male, 36 years old, Lahore
Aoa ! My husband's covid pcr came negative yesterday after 10 days of isolation. He has no symptoms other than extreme weakness & muscular cramps. Pls suggest if he still needs to be at a distance with us? Can he still spread virus?
isolation for 4-5 days more as negative pcr aa bhi jaye to prevention karte huwe 2 week isolation karni hoti so if 10 days hogye then 4-5 days aur isolation karein
So 10 days after the start of symptoms and last 3 days without symptoms is the criteria for isolation. likewise if you follow testing method, in the wake of symptoms, complete 14 days and repeat test.
You are welcome

No need to isolate if he is symptom free and pcr is negative,as far as weakness is concerned,it will take some time,take proper diet with fresh juices
no need to be in isolation, new guidelines say patient can leave isolation when he is asymptomatic for 3 days regardless the pcr
it's better to distance for few days more .hydrate and give m vitamin supplement.raw fruits plenty of water and vegetables
test fr antibodies after 2 weeks of recovery. if + then it's ok. meantime give him healthy diet like milk, honey, meat, soup. give vit d3 Cap 2 lac unit as single dose, vit c 500 mg 1 daily, tab zincate 20 1 daily fr 2 months
Prevention is better than cure. Moreover there might be children in home, old age members or pregnant ladies. So isolation is better till the covid antibodies test done after 14 days of recovery. He needs immune boosting and throat/stomach friendly diet means in liquid or chopped form so that easily digeasteable.. Also maintain giving adequate amount of lukewarm water, broths, Soups, tea(ginger, cinnamon, Cardamom sticks and lemon grass very well cooked together), nebulize when necessary, give him foot soak twice aday, need any other suggestion feel free to contact
weakness persist for some days even after recovery
no need to worry
take multivitamin and panadol 2tab if needed
complete 14days isolation and then deisolate
Did his pcr ever come positive ?

14 day isolation must be observed and give him plenty of water to drink and dry fruits to eat. If he doesn’t have diabetes then give him fresh juices and fruits. If he has diabetes donot give him juices but fruits can be given making a kond of fruit chat in a normal sized bowl of all the fruits and dividing the bowl in five equal parts . Ask him to eat one part at a time and finish it in the whole day.

Thanks a lot dr. Actually he feels extreme restlesness, bodyache and headache almost daily. Says he doesnot feel ok, pls suggest is there anything to worry about. What should be done for that.

These symptoms are due to COVID. Give him 2 panadol in case of headache. Only good diet can make him recover soon from the symptoms. May Allah bless him with good health .

Yes he can still spread
The virus
You must extend his isolation upto 15 days. his PCR is negative and be false negative, but it's good that he is asymptomatic.
