Isolate sick people: Throat pain can be from a strep throat (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza, or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor (call first) if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly. The flu or COVID-19 usually have cough, fever, body aches; whereas strep is mainly sore throat. Can call doctor by video or phone. (3/25/20)

Isolate and screen: If you can have her stay away from your elderly parents. She should rest, drink fluids and fever may be controlled with Tylenol or Ibuprofen. She should be tested for Coronavirus and influenza. Your parents should be protected from the illness and at a distance away from your daughter. Use good hand washing and disinfect surfaces.
