COVID 19: Continue to monitor yourself. Rest, hydrate, quarantine & eat healthfully. Consider use of acetaminophen, saline for nasal irrigation, decongestant or cough syrup. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.

Agree with Dr. F: If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
