A COVID 19 test is recommended. Consider flu testing if you have a fever. You may have a common cold, but the chest pain should be evaluated by your physician. Muscle aches may be associated with influenza and COVID-19. A heating pad,fluids as well as close monitoring of your breathing and temperature are recommended.

Good idea to do what Grandma would do if one had some kind of flu- Stay away from cold drinks & foods, use OTC Panadol/ Ibuprofen/Aleve, Inhale warn water & gargle with salt water after meals. Also ask doctor for Antiviral if possible and rest while observing all Covid-19 protocol.
