Cough and cold
I have a cough since 10 days and cold since 2 days. Recently I have cleaned my house. Cold may be because of dust also. But in view of present situation through out the globe I am worried. I do not have fever. Me and my husband are in home lockdown since a week. he is perfectly fine. Only I have cold and cough but no other symptoms. Cold in the sense only sneezing. Not a continuously running nose. Some irritation is there in throat and dry cough. Is there a chance that it is Corona? Should I get tested?
Saltwater gargling may help with your irritation in the throat. Practice it twice daily for 3 days
General advice: If you have symptoms of fever, cough, sore throat and breathlessness report to the hospital immediately. Stay quarantined stay safe

Most likely you have got allergic rhinitis due to dust.
Common signs of coronavirus infections include:
Respiratory (breathing) symptoms including shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.
Fever (high temperature).
Cough.
Next Steps
It's difficult to completely avoid potential allergens, but you can take steps to reduce exposure to a particular allergen you know or suspect is triggering your allergic rhinitis. This will help improve your symptoms.
If your condition is mild, you can also help reduce the symptoms by taking over-the-counter medications like
Levocet M Tablet - once daily for 5 days
Side effect: drowsiness, fatigue
