I've been recovering from COVID-19 for about 20 days now, and I've noticed some lingering symptoms like a low-grade fever for the past couple of days, body aches, and a stuffy nose. I'm concerned about these minor issues and I'm wondering what kind of medication or steps I should take to feel better. Any advice?
