Brief Answer:
Need details of your symptoms

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

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I need details of your symptoms:
-for how long do you have these symptoms?
-any history of travel?
- how bad are the symptoms? How high is the fever?
- What medicines have you tried? What is the response to the medicine?
- any difficulty in breathing?
- is chest X ray done?

Kindly let me know the details so that I am better able to help.

Meanwhile to protect against the viruses going around, I will recommend that you wear a face mask when near people, especially your family, avoid close contact like hand shaking, wash hands regularly, use hand sanitizer frequently, avoid non-vegetarian uncooked foods.

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