Mary is a 37-year-old female who suddenly presents with the onset of fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, dry cough, sore throat, and headache.

Use the guidelines and relevant literature in your topic Resources to discuss the following:

Due to similar presentations, how would a clinician decipher if the patient has the flu or COVID-19?
Determine a treatment strategy for Mary. Include the drug, dose, frequency, and treatment length, and explain your rationale for choosing this medication, including a spectrum of coverage and mechanism of action.
Determine monitoring, side effects, and drug-drug interactions associated with each medication.
In the event Mary experienced these symptoms for 48 hours prior to coming to the clinic, how would this change your treatment strategy? Explain your rationale.
Are there any flu vaccine options for Mary even though she has an egg allergy?
