hey girl i just recently got sick a few days ago and my throat was on fire. my tonsils were also swollen, but pay attention to see if there’s white bumps or puss because that might mean it’s strep throat or tonsillitis. if you don’t acquire a fever i doubt it’s covid. i’m not sick anymore it lasted 4 days and my system is just clearing out at this point. i recommend just relaxing at home for a few days to see how you feel because you might get better and then there’s no use for a covid test, we can’t be afraid forever you feel me. drink lots of tea and take medicine, i recommend buckley’s the liquid one it tastes like ass but trust me it works and lots of advil. eat soup and no harsh foods and you’ll be fine. it’s most likely a cold because of the change in weather. pay attention to loss of smell and taste as well that could be a sign of covid. take care of yourself and don’t stress :)
