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 worried and need some advice. I've been dealing with strep throat for about a week and a half, and my right tonsil is super swollen. I've also been getting pain in my ear. Last Thursday, they said I had a sinus infection, but they didn't check my throat for strep back then. I just started taking amoxicillin today, two doses so far, but after the first one, I took a nap and woke up with this chest pain on the upper right side when I breathe. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

it might be due to gastritis which is a side effect of Amoxicillin.

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the last 10 days, and I'm really not sure what's going on. Could you recommend a good cough syrup that I can easily find at the pharmacy? I'm getting a bit worried since it's been going on for a while now.

For your persistent cough, I recommend taking Benadryl Cough Syrup. You can take 10ml of Benadryl Cough Syrup three times a day after meals. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions on the label.
