Call your PCP: Your primary care physician can help you determine your need for testing for possible causes such as influenza, strep throat, or COVID-19. If you are concerned about COVID-19, the CDC has a symptoms checker that can help you self-assess here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/index.html
