Covid test!: Since cough & fever are also symptoms of COVID-19 I suggest you get a COVID test. Also eat nutritious food, drink a lot of fluids, take a daily multivitamin, maintain social distancing & good hygiene & get adequate rest. When the vaccine for COVID is available I also recommend that for you. I wish you well with your health!
