Hello, and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor'

Thanks for posting your query.

I have gone through your query. We need to wait for 2 to 3 days and observe for any worsening of symptoms or persistence of symptoms. If any you need to visit a hospital asap and get tested for Covid-19.

You can take:
Tab. Azithromycin 500 mg 1-0-0 for 5 days After Food,
Tab. Montek LC 10 mg 0-0-1 for 10 days After food.
Tab. Sinarest 1-0-1 for 2 days after food.
Tab. Dolo 650 mg S.O.S, for fever, body ache or headache.
Tab, Limcee once daily for 30 days After food.
Cap. Becadexamin once daily for 30 days after food.

-Warm salt water gargling and mouth rinse thrice daily or after meal/drink
-Steam inhalation and deep breathing exercises for 20 minutes twice daily.
-Home quarantine and maintain social distancing and sanitisation.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further if any.
Regards,
