I've been showing symptoms that might be related to COVID, and I'm feeling a bit worried. I've been advised to take an antibiotic, but I'm not sure which is better for my throat irritation. Should I go for Azithromycin or Doxycycline?

I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.
