Wounded tongue and fever
Salam and hi doctor(s). I recently had a wound on my tongue out of nowhere and that particular spot become a bit swollen. And around the same day, I started having slight fever and cough. I also have some phlegm. Do my fever and cough related to my wounded tongue? I am a bit worried because we are in the middle of the pandemic. Although the last time I went out was on 5th December, I am still worried about the possibility of me having the virus. Thank you, Dr.
