The collective symptoms listed even without fever and covid; still require attention. A return to the PCP for evaluation and management, seem appropriate.

There may be an infection which involves the sinuses and middle ear. Both infections usually respond well to a course of Amoxicillin or another antibiotic. Rinse nasal passages with saline. Avoid smoke and monitor temperature. A Flu test is also recommended. A virtual consultation with HT is available.

I would retest for COVID by PCR if not already done as well.
