Brief Answer:
Virus or flu can be confirmed with test only

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms are mild and there is nothing to worry. You can just watch and if it grows, then seek medical attention.

To me it seems like common cold, as you have runny nose. Flu symptoms are much worse and coronavirus usually has a history of travel or contact to known case.

Hope this helps. Let me now if I can assist you further.
