I was perfectly fine an hour ago and then my right nostril started feeling tingling followed by a lot of sneezing! Now I am extremely congestive and my throat is starting to get sore. I remember reading something about what to take if you get COVID but I can't recall what was recommended. I am hoping this is just an allergic reaction to something but since I have been in and out of doctor's offices this week and around a co-worker who just recovered from COVID, there's a possibility this may be more than an allergic. Any suggestions as to what I should take in case this would be COVID?

Those are my first symptoms of a common cold. 15 or more years ago every cold would turn into bronchitis. I started putting Tea Tree Oil in my nostrils at the 1st symptom and it stopped the cold in it's track. I have not had a cold since. I used it before I had to have a covid test before a procedure and it came out negative. A cold is a corona virus. The common cold, also known simply as a cold, is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the respiratory mucosa of the nose, throat, sinuses, and larynx.[6][8] Signs and symptoms may appear less than two days after exposure to the virus.[6] These may include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, headache, and fever.[3][4] People usually recover in seven to ten days,[3] but some symptoms may last up to three weeks.[7] Occasionally, those with other health problems may develop pneumonia.[3]
