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?

What can I do to bring it down since I can't get any medicine right now? It's the middle of the night, and I need some sleep. I've already tried breathing exercises. Do you have any other advice?
If you are unable to get medicine right now, you can try taking over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to help reduce any pain or fever that may be keeping you awake. Additionally, you can try using a cold compress on your forehead to help bring down your temperature and promote relaxation. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a comfortable sleep environment. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
