Self isolate

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Covid will usually have a higher fever so it doesnt seem to be Covid in your case. But best approach is to self-isolate in your room for atleast 15 days and don't think much about Covid (keep busy in another work like helping people through this fear). Take precautions for Covid. Soap is good disinfectant against this virus so wash yourself and your clothes regularly with soap. Take rest. Drink warm fluids and warm air. Avoid juices or sugary foods. Do some prayer or meditation to relieve anxiety. Don't worry as many people with Covid symptoms are continuing to survive this phase. So you will be fine.

In rare case if symptoms get worse and you develop breathing difficulty or chest congestion, you may get a transcript of antibiotic like amoxicillin or anti-virals from your doctor.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
