How do i tell the difference between allergies and covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever and a cough: People may be sick with the virus for 1 to 14 days before developing symptoms. The most common symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. More rarely, the disease can be serious and even fatal, especially in older people or those with medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes.
