Watch your fever pattern with a thermometer. Do not share the thermometer, if you have to wipe it with some disinfectant. Take daily 3 measurements. If there is no fever, don’t worry. Take steam inhalation, home remedies; turmeric with honey and watch. If fever pattern is showing a rising trend that keeps coming back within 2 -3 hours of taking a paracetamol, please contact a doctor. If you have any difficulty in saying PA TA KA repeatedly for a minute, see a doctor. Don’t take self medication; HCQ or others, consult a doctor.
Next Steps
Nothing to do if there is no fever. Take temperature 3 times a day. Take home remedies. Daily steam is also fine.

All r viral infections, so both will have high grade fevers to start with...but more of running nose in flu...
Both effects more of immunocompromised, uncontrolled diabetic , hypertensive, old aged people...
Corona can present as anything...from mild sore throat to severe multi organ dysfunction...above factors help in some prediction
Prevention is better than cure...try staying home, maintain social distancing...
