Feverish for One Week Already
Hi doc. I am a 50 year old woman.
For almost one week now, i have been having on and off flu and feverish feeling. I keep getting the chills and continuously feel feverish. My daughters felt unwell not long after i did. One came down with bad headache and nausea and the other had flu. Seems minor but i can’t seem to get rid of this feverish feeling. Do i get tested for covid 19?
