COVID Symptoms
I had slight fever of 99 degrees a few days back for only 1 night and then nothing. But I'm having slight irritation at the back of the throat and irritation feeling in my gums. I have taken the Covid test but results will only come after 2 days. Oxygen level is 98 in the oxymeter. Should I take any anti viral for the throat irritation or anything in the meantime just in case? Kindly advise.
