Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service,

Well, first of all, try to record the body temperature as there can be underlying fever as well...Given the present pandemic situation, you should also know that Coronavirus has a lot of different presentations...

For symptomatic relief, you can start taking steam inhalation twice daily by putting a few drops of eucalyptus oil...An antiallergic like LEVOCETIRIZINE tablet 5mg can be taken at bedtime...

If body ache/headache is persisting and increasing, you can take Tab PARACETAMOL 650mg round the clock (thrice daily after some food), and remain well hydrated by drinking a lot of water...

-Wear face mask all the time, esp. while going out...maintain social distancing, avoid any body-contacts with others...Avoid all unnecessary travel... Maintain strict hand hygiene by washing the hands with soap and water before and after touching any objects...

If despite following this, symptoms don't subside within a day or two, then it's recommended to get yourself properly checked up by an Internal Medicine specialist for a thorough clinical evaluation...

Take Care
Kind Regards
