COVID concetns: These symptoms could be from a number of causes (to include cold, influenza & COVID 19). Rest, hydration, acetaminophen, decongestant, cough med & nasal saline irrigation may help mild symptoms. Make sure to quarantine. Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face or new-onset of confusion.
