Hi hope you are well i have been experiencing a few symptoms over the past couple of days, thought it might be just seasonal flu but i think i should get tested ?

Possibly: COVID 19 sx’s: dry cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, nasal congestion, fever, headache, sore throat, feeling tired, loss of sense of taste/smell, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, chills & muscle aches. If you are in South Africa, my understanding is that a medical provider would need to make a referral.

Good Morning, I recently had a COVID-19 test because I'm having some painful flu-like symptoms, however, the test came back negative. I began taking ibuprofren for the past four days, but it hasn't been helping as much as I thought it would. What would you recommend to be the next step? Flu-Like Symptoms?
