The symptoms for both are the same and can be diagnosed by a nasopharyngeal swab test. I would advise you to visit the hospital while using a mask so as not to spread the infection and meet the doctor so that you can be examined and confirmed for the virus and have it treated accordingly.
Next Steps
Follow the steps as advised
Health Tips
If condition persists or worsens visit the ER at the earliest
