Brief Answer:
Doesn't seem like covid19.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Mucus in throat and stuffy nose may be related to allergies more than to covid19.
It can be related to sinusitis also.
Covid19 may also cause fever, elevated body temperature, headache,body and muscle pain, loss of taste and smell.
I think you should continue taking antihistamines such Zyrtec and NyQuil.

Rinse nose with saline water.
Use nasal decongestant spry .


Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

I’m not sure of my temperature, but I was warmer than usual . I have a cough but it’s dry . It’s kind of suppressed but often . Nothing helps it , Zyrtec barley helps . It’s just getting worst .

Brief Answer:
You can visit a pneumologist if you think your cough is too bad.

Detailed Answer:
I think you can use loratadin twice daily in the morning and in the evening.
Avoid things that you spot that can trigger it.
I still don't believe that it can be coronavirus but if you find the cough is too bad you can visit a pneumologist to do a x-ray of lungs.
