Cold and maybe covid
I moved out a lot during cold and rain. Particularly for shipping. Next day, I had eaten pickles and chips. And that very day, I developed itching in throat. Consequent day, I have cough, body pain and a bit dizziness. I'm also expecting periods anytime now. I'm fearing that this might not be covid. Even though I have sense of taste as well as smell intact.
Should I take paracetamol if this is just cold?
