Coughing about a week
I am F, 33. I have been coughing for a week (since 22/3) with a bit of clear phleghm. Had sore throat only on the 1st day and took OTC meds. I took the KKM covid risk assessment, only checked the cough symptom. No fever, aches, breathing difficulty or other illness. I attended a wedding the weekend before MCO.
Should i still get checked at the clinic?
