Brief Answer:
Need more information...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Cough, fever and breathing difficulties are the telltale symptoms of corona. However they are not the specific symptoms and any symptoms involving upper respiratory system at this point is consider suspicious of Coronainfection.

However without testing it is not possible to confirm / rule out Coronavirus infection. I need some more information to assess the risks of Corona infection. Please provide answers to the following questions in the follow up.

1. May I know your age?
2. Your current location?
3. Have you traveled to a place which is severely affected by COVID-19?
4. Have you been in contact with anyone sick or confirmed COVID?
5. For how long are you having the current symptoms?
6. May I know your occupation?
7. Do you have rapid breathing, difficulty in breathing?
8. Do you have any known medical condition?
9. Do you take any medications regularly?

Based on the limited information provided the symptoms may not be related to COVID, however provide all the information to assess the risks.

Awaiting your response...

Brief Answer:
Low risks of Coronavirus infection...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The details provided by suggest that this is a very low risk of developing into a Coronavirus infection. Nevertheless, are you still experiencing cough? If yes, how severe is it compared to what it was earlier.

You could take symptomatic medications like tab cetrizine 10mg at night along with cough formulas.
