Well for your satisfaction get an other PCR from South City/Ziauddin /IndusHospital if affording. Corona infections can has various presentations and can be without symptoms too. Isolation should last for 14 days. You can be around your family with a mask at 6 feet distance from time to time.
Keep an eye on the rest for any sypmtoms or get them tested if want to be extra cautious. I suggest you all should isolate for 14 days to avoid contact and spread to others.

20% cases can be false positive. Go by your sypmtoms. No need any special ft ice antibiotics unless and until need be. Symptomatic treatment is required. Keep a good diet keep and stress free. Multivitamins are not a treatment remember they are supportive therapy. Keep an eye on your breathing and if any problem get CBC, CRP, D Dimer,Chest Xray done.
Recovery from post COVID19 lethargy could take a month or so.

Yes PCR can be positive for weeks after infection. Speak to the airlines. I had a similar case weeks back as they had to fly with Emirates airlines.

You shall count from the day you tested positive although you must have been infected easier. Take symptomatic treatment 500mg panadol 12 hourly, Tan Soften 12 houlry, continue cough syp at night. All for 7 days. Rest right now delay travel as travelling would increase infection load,sypmtoms and longer weakness.
