See if you were wearing a mask, there is a minimal chance that u can contract an infection like this. Moreover, mask wearing can cut the chances to zero even if the other person has infection like this and is wearing a mask.

Don't panic. You have taken precautions and you don't know whether the another patient was Corona positive or not, so relax, just take adequate diet and proper rest, and increase your immunity.
Next Steps
next time in that situation please avoid unnecessary visit to hospital or clinic. take online consultation.
