Is it covid or cold/allergy? 6 days ago, I had a runny nose and 2 days later, a swollen tonsil. What should I do?

Question

the discharge lasted for 3 days but as for the throat, it has lasted for 4 days without diminishing. my throat is not sore, it is only uncomfortable with mucus when I cough and a beginning of voice extinction. should I be worried about the covid? I have no other symptoms

Good evening ma'am, In the absence of a fever or sudden loss of smell, there is no need to worry at this time in my opinion. In addition to the COVID19 virus, cold viruses are also circulating and it is quite possible that this is what is bothering you right now. Get some rest and since you are coughing, isolate yourself until the cough is gone. Drink plenty of water and rest again :) Happy evening, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
