Should I Go For Covid 19 Test by Nobody: 5:27pm On May 04, 2020
Good evening nairaland
I had a severe fever on Friday night,very severe and I was sweating all through the night,on Saturday morning I woke up with severe headache but later in the evening it subsided without me taking drug,I suspected malaria as my urine was very coloured hence I got lonart DS,am not done taking the drugs but m a little relieved but the headache still persist,it will last for hours and then subside ,I experience this headache mostly when am sleeping.
My fear is previously when I had malaria n after taking just two tablet of lonart DS I always feel completely healed but have taken 3 of the 6 tablets already although I can manage to move around the headache still persist.... Should I be worried and go for a test?

So headache and night fever are the symptoms of covid 19?

Oga take your malaria drug and give ur self a good rest. Most importantly, take away fear, u will die quickly by it.

In US you can go out and get tested just for testing sake ,you don't have to be sick or showing symptoms or anything. In fact there are some drive through test centers that takes your sample for testing just for passy there.
So you can get tested if you have the time. But I don't think you have Corona virus from the symptoms you listed.

@Poster, i think you should in fact go get yourself tested. Knowing what the world is dealing with at this time, it is best you err on the side of caution, both for your sake and for your family's sake.

Those are among the signs of covid-19. i advise @htechmaster092 finds zinc supplement to take along his drugs to err on the side of caution.

Yes you should be worried, but this time less worries because you are already too worried. You headache is not malaria related, it is one of the related signs of anxiety. Trust me on this, although I will advice you overrule typhoid.
