Covid-19: These symptoms are consistent with Covid-19. You can get tested, but there is no prescription medication that will cure this. SElf Isolate. Treat symptoms: Acetaminophen for fever/pain, decongestants, cough suppressants, lots of fluids, rest. See a Dr for difficulty breathing, Persistent chest pain, blue lips/nails, confusion or lethargy.
