I'm really worried because my mom has had a dry cough for the past four days along with a sore throat. I found out that some people in her office tested positive for COVID, even though she wasnt in direct contact with them. Should we consider getting her tested for corona?

I'm a bit worried because I've been coughing every 5 minutes for almost 3 days now, and it's a dry cough. I've tried taking honey, Benadryl, Althromycin, and Novaclox 500, but nothing seems to help. Any idea what might be going on or what else I could try?

Try steam inhalation five times daily. It should give you relief for your cough and continue the course for 2 more days
