Agree with Dr. Fowler. Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Contact your doctor/local hospital, by phone for evaluation and testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Get Covid vaccine. Wish you good health.

Testing is recommended, and please check with your local health department .It is likely based on her positive test that her symptoms are related to COVID 19. Nasal saline is often helpful in reducing nasal congestion. Watch for signs of distress, shortness of breath and GI symptoms. Keep her well hydrated and please follow up with your PCP.
