Mild sore throat?

Hi

So I check on the internet and I see sore throat being one of covid-19 symptoms. I have mild sore throat that developed a week ago. It doesn't feel like a usual sore throat and it doesn't get worse when I swallow or anything. I went for a walk around 13 days ago and had a takeaway food a week ago.

I have no other symptoms but the fact that I sometimes cough on purpose to try to relieve the itchy, scratchy throat. and my cough seems wet. Nothing seems to be relieving the soreness either which isn't that bad but it is bothering.

Should I be worried?

Edit: I have been having more acid reflux in the past 2 weeks as well. I did want to blame it on that but I took omeprazole and the reflux went away and sore throat remained.

    just keep monitoring yourself such as taking your temperature. With your symptoms so mild, even if you had it they would tell you to stay at home and let them know if you get worsening symptoms. But since you just have a sore throat, try gargling with warm salt water ., for some relief try some tea and honey, and check your temperature. it could still be due to your reflux. no need to panic. Just let your doctor know if you get more symptoms. You’ll be OK.
