Throat itchy and a bit sputum and chest hurt

Hello doctor, nice to meet you. I’m Lee and I’m 21. Well, I’m worried I get COVID so I’m here for asking you. Get ready for my long wind story…

My throat is a little itchy around 3 days, there is a little sputum but it did not make me cough.

Another one, my chest hurts a bit, I need to take a different posture before it doesn’t hurt. If I breathe hard, it will hurt. (Around 2 days) I think it affected by my sleeping postures problem (Not my first time) or workout problem.

I went to my friend house when it was April 14 (I rarely go to other people house) the reason why I went to my friend house is because I was having online class then sudden power outage in my home area, I can’t continue my online class without WIFI so I go to my friend house beg my friend share data for me, her mom at home but her mom busy in the kitchen, her dad went out for work. I forgot wear mask…

Then the scariest thing is, after April 19, my friend mom phone call to my mom, my friend father got infected COVID and her mom also!

But… my friend didn’t get infected… her results is negative, (That time I went to my friend house only stay in living room maybe 30 minutes with my friend then I went back to my house, the electric is back) I’m scared I get infected, now I have no sick or something, only throat got a bit itchy and my chest a bit hurt.

Hope to hear from doctor soon.
