COVID 19 concerns: These symptoms are consistent with COVID 19 but need testing for definitive diagnosis. There may be lingering symptoms for some time to come. 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, significant & persistent chest pain or new-onset of confusion

Since Monday morning I experienced body aches and I had a slight cough. Today, the cough is gone and the body aches are easing. I checked the covid symptoms but they don't compare. I also don't have a fever. Could it just be a cold or flu?
