Current Events > Question about covid pcr/swab test

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got high fever, headache, and sore joints yesterday, i immediately got myself swabbed and the result came back negative. Could i test myself too early or if it's showing symptoms that means the virus is already in me for a while?

Could it be a false negative? Because the symptoms is like covid and it felt worse than any cold i have ever got.

Should i get myself tested again in a few days?

I'm pretty sure if you are showing symptoms, it's already well in your system as your body is starting to fight it.

It's still possible to get sick and not have it be Covid.

That's happened to me twice since the first lockdown.

Yeah, it's a bit of panic because i rarely got sick and aside from dengue fever, i never get sick this bad >__>

I might see if you can get a flu test before jumping on the false negative conclusion.

But idk, see a doctor.
