If you have done an RTPCR test then i will be positive and may remain same for few weeks to 3months depending on individuals
If you done an antigen test for repeat and it turned positive then wait and repeat again after 2 days

It is advisable that you consult the same doctor because he/she is familiar with your current treatment. Covid can take time to turn negative in reports, if your general condition is good continue the stabilizing medicines in guidance of your consulting doctor and take rest. If your consulting doctor is not reachable you could book an appointment with anyone else through Practo.
