Dry cough with chest congestion and pain

2021-05-11 18:14:55
My mother is having very light dry cough and chest congestion from around 2-3 weeks along with chest pain from last week which can be felt while coughing. No other problems apart from this. Should we go for a covid test or this can be any normal cold symptoms ?
