COVID 19 test: Allergies can present w stuffy/ runny nose, cough, sneezing, sore/ scratchy throat or itchy/ watery eyes. Symptoms of COVID 19 infection may include (but aren’t limited to) dry cough, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, fever, headache, sore throat, feeling tired, loss of sense of taste/smell, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, chills without or without shaking & muscle aches.

Anti-histamines help: I agree with Dr. Fowler. If you're unsure, you can try an allergy medication like an anti-histamine over-the-counter. If your symptoms improve, it's not Covid 19!

How fast does COVID spread through a family? Five people in my family (inc. me) have felt like they could be coming down with something or they have allergies, but the symptoms have (so far) lasted for a day to three days. Could this be COVID?
Me and several other people in my family had Covid around 3-4 weeks ago, and then about a week-two weeks after having Covid, it seems like we all have allergies/are not feeling right. Is it likely that we caught Covid again/it never left our house?
I have severe allergies to shots, and wondering if the doctors are qualified to provide an exemption to Covid-19 shots. Thanks?
