Stomach infection & fever fear of covid
I had done by blood test 10 days ago and I was put on Iron supplements. I have had indigestion and stomach cramps since then with black stool. 3 days ago I had diarrhea and I had 99 fever. The next day my fever reached to 99.9 and I took paracetamol and the fever came down. My temperature is normal since yesterday afternoon. I don't have any symptoms, do I need to get covid test? I need to travel 30 km using public transport to get the test.

Covid test isn’t that necessary…..GI symptoms of covid generally happens to be tough but as ur symptoms have subsided u can prefer to keep urself under observation

Iron supplements can cause diarrhoea,black stools constipation and many more.
Your fever could be seasonal or COVID. If your fever has settled well and you have no other symptoms you can get a cbc and crp done. Then take your doctors advice.
