Sore throat-sign of covid?
Hi,
I am having sore throat from 8th june evening (pain in tonsil area and phlegm). There is no difficulty in swallowing. I have few concerns because I have a 7 month old daughter.
- Can ONLY sore throat symptom be a sign of covid?
-What precautions should I take to recover from it?
- Do I need to self isolate myselft by having this symptom?
