Common symptoms: Fever, cough, sore throat, congestion, fatigue and, in some cases, difficulty breathing or loss of smell and taste.
When to see a doctor? Difficulty breathing, persistent fever, or worsening malaise are signs that should be addressed without delay, especially in people with risk factors.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner or the internist handle most cases, and the pulmonologist or the infectious disease specialist step in when there are respiratory complications. With symptoms that worry you, the most prudent course is to have a professional assess your condition.
