Fever with slight throat itch, mild cold
Hello doctor,
I have been feeling feverish since last Sunday (April 18th). This morning I had a fever of 99.3 and mild cold (nose blockage and phlegm). I have been taking Dolo 500 (2 doses on Sunday) and Calpol 650 ( 3 doses monday, 1 today) on a family doctor's general advice. Additionally, I took azithral 500 and ivermectin 12 mg yesterday.
My mom has also developed a fever and she is on same medication.
Could you tell me if this could be a generic flu? Should I wait a few more days before getting a covid test?
Thanks a lot!

Your symptoms resemble COVID-19 and due to the current pandemic, kindly do the COVID test for yourself and your mother. Monitor both of your oxygen saturation at home. Start doing steam inhalation and practice breathing exercises.
Include nutritional supplements for the next week such as Vit C , Vit D and Zinc, if you have no contraindications to them. Kindly consult for a detailed management.
