Brief Answer:
Symptoms suggestive of many conditions

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

I have reviewed your query and your symptoms are not suggestive of one particular condition.

Since coronavirus is going around, I will suggest that a 15 day period of self-isolation should be observed by you. This will will help limit the spread of the infection to your near and dear ones. Ateast 2 meter distance from everyone.

Also drink warm fluids and inhale warm air as heat is said to reduce this virus' activity.
Tea with ginger, turmeric and black pepper can help you breath better.
Work from home and take adequate rest.
Take all precautions like washing hands frequently, hand sanitizer, face mask etc.
See a doctor if symptoms persist or breathing difficulty happens. He may do a CT scan of chest to confirm diagnosis.
Nothing to worry as yet. The symptoms are very mild.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
For now medicine is not needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi again\

For now medicine is not needed as in most cases coronavirus resolves in 6 weeks.

Howvever if symptoms detriorate, e.g if fever appears then paracetamol to be taken, if breathing difficulty happens then asthalin inhaler to be taken, if diagnosis confirmed then appropriate antibiotic or antiviral will be given.

You can take medicine to increase your immunity like chyawanprash or XXXXXXX drops.

Brief Answer:
Yes need to test for lung infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Although this pain may just be due to intestinal infection, but we need to rule out lung infection. See a doctor and get tested for CBC, Chest XRay or CT Scan chest. Nowadays they are offering Covid-19 testing in community on the basis of symptoms, so you have a chance to get yourself tested.

Meanwhile warm fluids and warm air should continue.
Resting is also essential.
