Ask your clinic if you can gather any information at home (perhaps with the help of family members) before going in to the clinic. This will help them to help you, by more quickly diagnosing your symptoms as being those seen with viral infections.

If your clinic offers no such self-diagnostic questionnaire, here is a sample table based on common clinical diagnostics. If any medical doctor has feedback on this table or would like to improve it, please feel free to do so. Please see the Chinese clinical guidance for covid-19 pneumonia diagnosis and treatment for a more thorough self-examination, or understanding of the covid-19 etiology (document was recommended by the American College of Cardiology).

Meanwhile, here are some suggested observations to record before going in to the clinic to better help your healthcare provider help you:

Date, time	Thermometer reading of body temperature (fever determinant)	Cough, nature of cough	Phlegm color and notes	Headache, congestion	Bodyache, chest pain	Urine colour
e.g. March 19 2020, 11pm	e.g. 38 degrees Celsius	e.g. yes/no, dry/productive	e.g. thick, green, no blood	e.g. head cold	e.g. none, or, dull ache, or sharp pain	e.g. clear

Also think back to any sudden changes in diet, fabrics, detergents, soaps, and household or office items that may have triggered an immune response. Note these down to offer any insights into non-viral sources of symptoms.

Blessings to you as you ask God for help in your ailment.
