Covid related
Hi , we are family of 5 along with a 5 month old baby boy. 20 days back we all were having fever, sore throat and cough so 3 members got their covid test done and result was positive. Me , my baby and my mother in law was not able to get our test done because of some reason but were having all the covid symptoms, even my baby was symptomatic so his paed gave him medicines and now everyone is feeling fine and even those 3 members are now covid negative but my mother in law is still feverish along with body aches and slight cough, we got her covid test done yesterday and it came out to be positive. Her HRCT reports show ground glass opacities and covid score 10/25. She is currently taking all the medicines along with flabiflu. Now my concern is can we contract covid again from her and since me and my son didn't get our test done earlier but was having all the symptoms along with loss of taste and smell,we thought we were infected with corona as well.What should we do, worried for my baby

The chances of a reinfection is minimal, considering the body has already mounted an immune antibody response .
There is no need to worry ,just make sure your mother in law is symptomatically better .

Yes there are chances of relapse, and reinfection, better opt for isolation and especially and as per HRCT 10/25 hopefully the picture should not seem too bad .
Good nutrition, Good hydration, good ventilation of rooms, and isoltion shall help

There are chances of relapse of symptoms so it would be best if the baby is kept away from mother in law till she tests negative.
For more guidance take a personal instant consultation. Hope that helps. You can even consult directly via what sapp on 9999x104x408
