A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID concerns: I don't know if use of the decongestant drops had any impact on your sense of smell or taste. Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher with at least 2 of these sx’s: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.

I have a fever that is on and off for the last 2 days. Are there any other symptoms that I can look for for COVID No cough No loss of smell or taste
I believe I have covid. So from around Monday or Tuesday last week I had symptoms of fever, chill, aches, and loss of smell or taste until Saturday. Then the final symptom I got is dry cough on Saturday, so wondering how long until the cough goes?
I have been having allergies really bad this week. I have been taking Zyrtec and Mucinex D since last Sunday. Friday I added generic Flonase. I have not had any fever at all. Yesterday afternoon I noticed a loss of smell. I know there are reports of others saying theyve lost smell and taste while on Flonase. I also know that is a symptom of COVID. From what Ive read and heard, if this was COVID Id feel a lot worse and have fever. What are your thoughts? Loss of smell?
Sore throat, hoarse voice no loss of taste or smell, fever that lasted only a day, can this be covid-19 or just the common cold?
