Brief Answer:
Self isolation mandatory

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

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This seems like a mild infection. I am seeing many people with similar complaints and their infection is lasting longer than regular flu. Not sure if its corona or not, but there is very less chance of this being corona. But the other flu is also very contagious.
I would suggest you to:
- Stay in self-isolation for atleast 15 days with enough rest. Keep 2m distance from your family members as well.
- happy and peaceful mind will help resolve this faster. So stay away from corona news on social media
- If symptoms get worse like breathing difficulty, chest pain, etc, then see doctor. He may do chest XRay or CT scan, complete blood count, corona test and other flu tests, prescribe you amoxicillin-clavulanate to inhibit any superinfection with bacteria.
- take warm fluids and warm air

Medicine not needed with current symptoms.
