Cold stuck in head and ears
There's cold stuck in my head and ears with a constant headache since today. There is occasional fever 100 or 101 F. Nose is sometimes blocked, throat pains occasionally. She also had ice cream yesterday night and could be the possible reason. Does it look like covid or general cold?
