This morning I have woken up badly, some runny nose, slight sore throat, some discomfort in the back... as if I had caught a cold or seasonal allergy.
The fact is that my son tested positive last Saturday and, although he only had a fever on Sunday, he continues to test positive so he has been confined to his room since then following school classes by videoconference.
We, being direct contact, also have to remain confined at home although I must admit that I have gone running these last few days...
Well, going back to the subject, I have done an antigen test and the result at first seemed clearly negative, but after about 30 minutes and under the light of the lamp, I have come to perceive a shadowy second line (see the right specimen).
My wife says it's a POSITIVE, I question it.
Due to this discussion, and since I have symptoms, I have decided to do another antigen test, from another manufacturer, with a clear negative result.
I have read somewhere that antigen tests can give false negatives but not false positives...
I don't know what to do now, should I go for a PCR? or is the diagnosis clear?
What do you think?
