I have flu-like symptoms including sneezing, body aches, and a headache, but my breathing, oxygen levels, and sense of taste are normal; since taking Allegra M has helped, should I get a COVID-19 test and what are my next steps?
However, because COVID-19 symptoms can easily mimic a cold or seasonal allergies, taking a rapid COVID-19 test is a safe and recommended next step to be absolutely sure. Your improvement with Allegra M (fexofenadine and montelukast) suggests your symptoms may have an allergic component, or the medication is successfully easing your congestion. Please rest, stay well-hydrated, and limit contact with others until you get your test results. You can safely continue your medication, but do consult a healthcare provider if you develop a fever or worsening symptoms.
