As you are diagnosed with covid on 27/7 so take that as your day 1 .
Today is 02/8 , your day 7 ..
Your viral load might still be present in your body.
Get a repeat covid test done on day 10 .
Till then , check your spo2 ( oxygen level in your body) with a pulse oximeter every 4 to 6 hourly and thermal checking every 6 hrly .
Drink sufficient amount of warm water and eat healthy , don't take stress .
Sleep well ..
If your symptoms worsen , visit the nearest covid dedicated hospital, or get a paid consultation from me .
Get well soon 👍

You may need to get some investigations done to find out cause of fever. Now your temperature is normal, so there is no need to worry.

Do check your oxygen saturation with pulse oximeter four times daily in the room air, and after 3 minutes of brisk walk to look for any desaturation (decrease in the oxygen level).
And if you feel breathless, please get yourself admitted in the nearest Covid hospital.

Take paracetamol only when fever is more than 100 F. If symptoms are not progressing then you need not worry.
