Asking for Self, Female, 28 years old, Karachi
I just caught flu day before yesterday...too much itchy nose and slight flu nothing else...should I go for covid test ??
not necessary.
stay at home and keep yourself isolate.
drink plenty of water.
take tablet telfast 60mg once at night for 1 week.
keep checking your temperature and other symptoms.
in case of high fever and more aggravated symptoms get your c0vid test done
If having no fever I dont think so u shd rush for it...wait... take anti allergy n stay positive
Any1 in family having flu fever or cough??
Do you have fever??, bodypain? cough?? fatigue?? anything else
No,First you should go for medicine trial of 5 days.If you are not getting better then go for COViD
Hello.
Not at all. Just be normal, have tea and kahwa and if flu increases use Tab. Rigix 10mg
Once at bedtime.
Regards
This could be anything from simple allergic reaction to viral infection by a lot of different viruses other than corona virus. However corona virus can also present with simple flu too.
At this stage it would be advisable to monitor your symptoms, for any new ones and progression of old symptoms for 2-3 days. Take anti histamine for itching at the moment. Try to avoid close contact for the time being and lets see how you progress over 2-3 days. No need to go for covid test with these symptoms at this time
If at anytime you get fever or cough or shortness of breath, seek help.
No,first you should go for trial of Medicines for 5 days.If condition is not improving.Then Go for it
No,first you should have trial of Medicines for 5 days .Still if condition is not improvong.Then we should think about COVID

Thank u Soo much All d doctors for ur advice..
No fever.. no cough anything just flu
No just relax and take anti histamine like tab telfast 120 mg at night..take lots of fluids and if you have fever take panadol...every flu is not COVID-19
did you catch it from someone or developed it in your own? are you strictly observing quarantine or do you have high exposure to the community?
no need to fear...all flus are not Corona.
take steam and honey regularly.
take care and rest.
