My dad got COVID about a week ago, and we've been staying in the same space since then. Now I've got a fever, tonsillitis, and weakness for the past three days. When should I get tested for COVID?

I'm really not that great at English, so bear with me. Anyway, about five days ago, I started feeling this chest tightness and had a lump-in-the-throat kind of feeling. I checked online and decided to drink a bottle of Smirnoff Mule vodkait works as my soda substitute. It helped a bit, though I could still feel a bit of tightness, but not as bad as before. So now, three days later, I'm feeling this discomfort in my lower left rib cage and my back, but there's no pain when I press on the area, and it disappeared after 24 hours. Right now, it's more about discomfort on the left side of my throat when I swallow, near my Adam's apple. I haven't had a fever since last week, either. Could you guide me on where I might be able to have a general check-up around the BGC or Pembo Makati area?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

I'm feeling really tired and drowsy all day, and sometimes I get spells of giddiness. My doctor checked my thyroid and hemoglobin levels, and they came back normal. I'm just wondering what else could be causing these symptoms? Could there be something we're missing?

kindly check Vit D levels

I'm 40 and juggling work daily, but by the time evening rolls around, I'm running on empty. Can you recommend a good multivitamin that can keep my energy up throughout the day? Feeling totally drained by the afternoon isn't ideal, and I'm looking for something that could help with that.
