Do symptoms like high fever, sinus, headache, sore throat, body pain, chills, and loss of taste and smell indicate COVID- 19 infection?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your query.

The symptoms described by you are observed in both Influenza and Covid-19. Monkeypox causes a specific pattern of rashes. Swine flu is unlikely at this time. However, suppose you have taken COVID-19 vaccine primary doses and preferably precautionary doses. In that case, even if it's COVID-19, it is unlikely to cause severe disease and is likely to be a self-limiting milder disease. To ascertain the occurrence of COVID-19, you need to undertake RTPCR or rapid antigen test with a nose and throat swab. Additionally, to understand the severity and possible complications, I would suggest you take specific blood tests such as:

1. Complete blood count.
2. D- Dimer.
3. C-reactive protein.
4. Renal function tests.
5. Liver function tests.

However, if you do not want to undertake any tests, I would suggest the following medications,

1. Tablet Montelukast 10 mg and Levocetirizine 5 mg once daily for seven days.
2. Tablet Azithromycin 500 mg once daily for three days.
3. Tablet Paracetamol 650 mg thrice daily for three days (in case you have a fever).
4. Tablet N- Acetylcysteine 600 mg once daily for seven days.
5. Tablet Vitamin C 500 mg twice daily for seven days.
6. Capsule Saccharomyces Boulardi 250 mg twice daily for three days (take medicine two to three hours apart from tablet Azithromycin).

Thank you.
