I'm feeling feverish on and off for the last couple of weeks, but every time I take my temperature, it's at 98.6. I've also got a bit of a sore throat, but I'm not having any issues with breathing or a dry cough. A person in my building was diagnosed with coronavirus a few days ago, and it's making me really anxious. I'm not sure what's happening with my health since I've never felt this way before. Any advice?
