URI: Although these two sx's alone don't sound particularly worrisome for COVID 19, the problem is that it can be asymptomatic or only present with one symptom. Symptoms of COVID 19 infection may include (but aren’t limited to) dry cough, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, fever, headache, sore throat, feeling tired, loss of sense of taste/smell, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea & vomiting.

Covid: Those symptoms are not definitely diagnostic of covid, but if you live in an endemic area or have been exposed to someone who recently may have been ill or exposed, get tested. In the meantime gently irrigate your nasal passages and gargle with very clean warm salt water and suck on zinc lozenges as directed. Call your MD and isolate yourself as needed.
