The numerical value of Ct has decreased. It indirectly means that your disease has worsened. But interpretation of Ct value itself is not very clear. If you are symptomatically better then you are improving even though you continue to be infectious.
I think you should get your CBC, D-dimer and CRP done. That will tell if you are improving. That will clear many doubts

You don't have to worry if your symptoms have subsided. CT value is predominantly has epidemiological value. You don't have to worry about it.
