Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Tylenol: Please have a screening test to rule out COVID 19. Stay home, avoid contact, drink fluids and rest. Avoid Ibuprofen for now and use Tylenol and a heating pad to relieve muscular pain. Watch for the CDC signs of COVID 19, including flu like symptoms and loss of taste and smell.
