Please check local medical centers for guidance regarding testing. The acute presentation is consistent with COVID 19 or another infection. A Strep throat swab, Staph, chickenpox and measles should also be considered. Please discuss whether a chest radiograph is indicated with your PCP. In the meantime, rest, drink fluids and watch for worsening shortness of breath and fever.
