How fast does covid go away? had scratchy throat sunday, fever & body aches monday, now just post-nasal drip, slight cough & no appetite. sound like covid? or something else?

"Sound like"? 1) CoViD is new & symptoms vary considerably. To throw out a few flulike symptoms & expect a diagnosis from a doc who has no doctor-patient relationship with you is wholly unrealistic. Only way to know is to get tested. 2) Read the disclaimer. It states that this part of HealthTap is NOT for seeking a free diagnosis (which is also asking a doc to commit an ethical violation).

It is likely to be Covid. Get tested. Scratchy throat is a typical symptom of the Omicron strain. If you are not vaccinated, get vaccinated and boosted.
