A test for COVID-19 and influenza is recommended. Treat symptoms, rest and if you become short of breath, please see a physician.Stay well hydrated and usually there is improvement in 10 days.

No, it is not normal. You may have Covid or influenza. It would be prudent to see your doctor as an in office test can sort it out. If you experience shortness of breath, go to a hospital immediately. Wish you good health!
