So I had Covid back in February 3rd. So about 140 days later, I’m now experiencing a sore throat. Yesterday I woke up with a horse voice that kept sounding squeaky. And I kept having to clear my throat. The day before that I just had a sore throat and a slight cough.
I took an at home test yesterday morning and just took another one now. Both came back negative. I also went to get a pace test since they are accurate. But I have to wait until tomorrow for my results.
My biggest concern is will this reinfection, if I have it, will it be worse?? After 90 days of infection, I was supposed to get vaccinated but I completely forgot due to the fact that me and my family are living in a hotel with nowhere to live. The days flew by so quickly. My sister said she had Covid but she also said that she had to test negative before coming back to work. She did visit us about 10 days ago. But she assured me that she was no longer contagious but she still had a lingering cough. In January, I got the first Pfizer vaccine. But never got the rest due to my Covid infection shortly after. I’m jus worried because I’m morbidly obese. I’m 23 years old. But I know that weight can affect the severity of Covid. Last time I was sick with it, it wasn’t fun, but it wasn’t horrible either. But I’m just curious if anyone has any insight if my previous infection and the first vaccine still holds some protection after all this time later. Thank you.
