I’am a 31 Years old male, 4 days ago I suffered from Mild diarrhea but furtunately it went away but I been experiancing passing gas alot since that, today I started coughing few times and when wearing the mask sometimes I have diffifucltiles breathing. Other than that I’m fine, sleeping welll and don’t have any other signs of Covid-19. Can these be early singe of Covid-19 or it just normal ? Is there anything thing I can do to make sure to stay healthy?
