Runny Nose and Aches on chest
Greetings Doctor/s, I am 22 years old and I have been having runny nose for more than 1 week and I went to a nearby private clinic and had my temperature checked, which was 37dc. The attending doctor claimed it to be normal body temperature and prescribed medications for runny nose. Nevertheless, I still feel my body is warm and I can feel aches near my chest sometimes. I am confused whether the pain near the chest is due to my workout routine or of COVID 19. CONFUSED AND NEED HELP.
