Covid reinfection
I had covid on April 15th. I recovered around May 5-10th. I went to ENT specialists thrice last week( May 25-29) for CT PNS and Nasal endoscopy. I did an antibody test and it had IGM 5.1 and IGG 1.28. I am scared of reinfection as I have a scratchy throat since last week. Can I get reinfected

There is possibility of reinfection, but no need to worry your body already developed neutralizing antibody that will last long for maximum 3 months. So if you are reinfected you are on your recovery, but there is also possibility of some throat infections too which causing you your symptoms.
Consult for your clarification & do take warm fluids for fast recovery & maintain healthy diet, avoid sleeping with cooler oon or ac oon, it will worsen your condition.
