Hello doctor! The doctor told me that I have had a stuffy and runny nose for two weeks now but it still doesn't go away. I've taken several flu medicines but it still doesn't work. Please ask the doctor, often runny, stuffy nose is at risk of Covid? I would like to thank the doctor.

Hello! The Corona virus that causes the Covid 19 epidemic is a virus that causes respiratory infections in a multitude of viral bacteria that cause symptoms of Ear, Nose and Throat disease and have no specific symptoms to diagnose Covid 19 unless tested.
The symptoms of nasal congestion, runny nose you give are usually due to common nasopharyngitis. You should go to the clinic or specialist Ear - Nose - Throat - Hospital under Vinmec Health System to get a prescription.
