Hi
- Take ample of rest and avoid any stress
- Keep a track wether you experience fever, chest pain or breathlessness or any Gastro symptoms
- If you experience any, take medical help
Immediately
You can also contact Covid 19 helpline
- Its most likely a normal flu and not covid 19
As you din mention any history of travel/ contact with covid 19 positive patient/ working in essential services
But take all precautions and maintain social distance and Respiratory hygiene
- As of now symptomatic treatment with sinarest is fine
But cefodem( antibiotic) should be Taken only after consulting a doctor
- Take steam, Nasal saline drops
Eat healthy
Add soups and hot beverages to your diet
