I'm having a sore throat that's gotten a lot better over the last couple of days and some discomfort in my chest. I've also been coughing a bit, mostly like I'm trying to clear my throat. I got back from Delhi about 12 days ago and I do have anxiety and GERD. I'm a smoker but I've cut down a lot recently. I haven't had any fever or cold symptoms though. Could this still be corona?

I've just tested positive for COVID and I'm isolating at home. Can you let me know what medicines I should take or if there's any specific treatment I should follow? I'm also interested in having a teleconsultation.
