Are you no longer contagious when your symptoms disappear?Ive tried reading through the comments but couldnt find any direct answer. A friend of mine was in contact with someone who tested positive and Im worried. He said his symptoms were gone after two weeks of being sick but he got tested the week they hung out and got the results two days after the handout.

Not thought to be, but not confirmed.We are recommending you wait until at least 72 hours after your symptoms have resolved to end self-isolation (and symptoms resolving while you're still having tylenol around the clock doesn't count)
I have an upper respiratory infection. Been to the doctor for it. When will it end? It's been 8 days now.25f, 120lb, white, asthmaticI was tested twice for COVID and both came back negative. When it got worse the doctor gave me 4 days of steroids to take, cough medicine, and mucinex.Day 1-3: bad congestion, fatigue, sore throat, voice loss Day 4-7: began coughing. Had to increase use of my rescue inhaler Day 8: began to cough up disgusting green phlegm.Does the green phlegm mean I'm near the end? Or that I should go back in?
Probably just a viral cold that needs to run its course which is usually 10 days - 2 weeks. I would add some Sudafed/flonase for your congestion. Hopefully you start feeling better soon.
