I’ve basically had

A mild sore throat, slightly stiff neck, slightly tight chest and a bit of dizziness on and off over the last week.

I don’t have a temperature or a continuous cough.

It may just be anxiety but could these actually just be mild symptoms of the virus. Incredibly difficult to know what to do.

The “new” continuous cough is really difficult as well. Our middle child gets coughs about 5 times a year and they always linger a few weeks. He’s had a cough for about 2 weeks. Is that “new”?
