Do I need to get a COVID-19 test if my cold and sore throat have lasted for over a week without a fever, even after taking Avil and doing steam inhalation, especially since I commute daily on the metro?

Given that your cold and sore throat have persisted, getting a COVID-19 test is a very sensible step. Even without a fever, mild infections can present this way, particularly with public transit exposure. While Avil (pheniramine) and steam inhalation can help ease congestion, they won't treat an underlying virus. I recommend taking a COVID-19 test for peace of mind. Please wear a mask during your commute, stay well-hydrated, and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen.
