Question : I am Debojit,

Well just wanted to ask regarding my symptoms..I am having cough and cold..mostly runny nose and lethargy...heaviness in my chest; however, I dont seem to have problems breathing..Do you think I have the virus or its just a regular flu.

Brief Answer:
Virus or flu can be confirmed with test only

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

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms are mild and there is nothing to worry. You can just watch and if it grows, then seek medical attention.

To me it seems like common cold, as you have runny nose. Flu symptoms are much worse and coronavirus usually has a history of travel or contact to known case.

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