Treat your symptoms: for your comfort with acetaminophen,fluids, & rest.Although you may not have been in contact with the person with Covid-19, others around you may be carriers without symptoms,so it is possible that you do have it & you should self-isolate.If you have an underlying medical condition,please call your doctor for further advice.If you have shortness of breath,you may need ER care, but call 1st.
