Assessment: A virtual appointment and an appointment with your PCP is indicated. Azithromycin is one possible treatment and a review of your asthma plan is indicated. It is less likely to be caused by Coronavirus if you have nasal congestion and phlegm, but discuss testing for both influenza and coronavirus with your PCP.
