A member asked:
If i feel hot with light headache and the temperature is 37.9 degrees. do i have a fever or covid-19. what medicine should i consider?

COVID 19: Depending on how you took temp - 100.4 is usually considered a fever. Temp of 37.9 equates to 100.22. You could have these symptoms for a number of reasons. Can't say that you do or don't have COVID 19 based on symptoms alone. Acetaminophen would probably help. Take care
