Brief Answer:
COVID is unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.

These are not sure signs of COVID infection and a simple respiratory tract infection can also cause similar symptoms.

The probability of COVID infection is low because you have no exposure to an infected person and you were in the home for the last few days.

If the symptoms persist you can go for a rapid CORONA test for reassurance.

Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
