My wife has covid

Yes, do get her to ring the dr about this Phil. It's likely fine, but important to check these things. I had some tests after I had covid that would have been done more urgently if I had leg pain.

You can't take any chances with covid so do as the others suggest and get some proper medical advice and attention for your wife.

Sounds like your wife might now be over the worst of her Covid and in the meantime I would like to wish her a speedy recovery.

Blood clots can happen with COVID. My sister had COVID a few months ago and ended up being admitted to the hospital because she got double pneumonia. When they ran a chest CT they found she also had a PE in her right lung. The doctor there told her it was caused by the COVID.

Your wife probably doesn’t have a clot but it’s still wise to consult with her doctor.

Hope she feels better soon.

My wife phoned the 111 and they are calling back about her leg pain.

My temperature is 32.5c under my arm sometimes goes upto 33 but is this normal? I have measured that since start of Covid maybe 35 but more often 32 is that normal? I googled it and it said should be higher

I done my tongue 33.1

No, thats not a normal reading, but I highly doubt it is your actual body temp as that would indicate you have hypothermia ! Your thermometer is faulty. Under arm and forehead temperatures can be inaccurate (according to google by almost a full degree), but with an average body temperature being 37 degrees you shouldn't get an underarm reading of that low. Oral, ear and rectal measurements are the most accurate. Time to invest in a new thermometer I think.

I think the box says 32-29 normal but my wife said it’s ok it’s only if it goes red or swollen she is then call back. My wife’s thermometer and mine says that reading but I’ve had since start of pandemic

My wife has had 33-34 before Covid too
