Covid-19 possible: Your symptoms can be because of covid-19 . Recommend getting tested. It can be other viral or bacterial infections as well. Will need mostly symptom management with acetaminophen for pain and fevers. Cough medicines for cough . Rest and stay hydrated. Quarantine measures. Wish you a speedy recovery.
