Brief Answer:
Covid can present with sore throat

Detailed Answer:
Hii. Welcome to the Ask A Doctor services.

Covid can present with sore throat. But it can be allergic pharyngitis not related with covid. So you have to wait for the results. In the meantime do warm saline gargle. Take steam inhalation. You can take antiallergic tablet levocetrizine to reduce the inflammation. Take some ginger tea, warm liquids, vitamin c rich fruits like lemon to increase the immunity. Do regular nasal breathing exercises, yoga to increase immunity. Continue above all till the Covid period is over. Don't panic. Take proper food and rest. Rest will be fine.

Please review if you have any queries.
