Self isolate/test: This is one characteristic feature among some patients with COVID 19 infection. The infection actually may be associated with no or few symptoms. Rest, drink fluids and self isolate. Treat any fever with Tylenol rather than Motrin or NSAIDS, and watch for signs of respiratory difficulty, cough, distress. If these occur, please notify your physician.

COVID 19: This can be a COVID 19 symptoms. However, if can also occur with other respiratory conditions. Recommend quaranting. You can obtain a telemedicine consult so that the medical provider can determine if testing is indicated. Take care.
