Covid: At this time your symptoms aren't characteristic of classic covid infection, but nevertheless you should isolate yourself from others until you've been without symptoms for 7 days. Drink adequate room temperature fluids. If true earache is present or if you develop fever, cough or breathing difficulties, call your physician for instructions about examination,testing and treatment.
