Yes: You may have influenza or COVID 19, and please obtain screening locally. If you have an Albuterol inhaler, please use it as directed. Continue to stay home, monitor your temperature, avoid contacts, drink fluids and rest. Additional causes include Strep pneumococcus and Strep A. Please have a chest image after seeing your PCP.
