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 really worried about some calf pain I've been having in both legs. It's been bothering me for a while now, and on top of that, I've had this cold for almost a month and even though I've been getting treatment, it doesn't seem to be going away. Could the cold or the meds be causing the leg pain, or is it something else entirely?

Thta could be electrolyte imbalance or calcium deficiency.get those tested and visit Physician for appropriate management
