This looks like a viral infection. It will be better after 3-4 days on its own. Continue taking crocin for fever, do warm saline gargles, drink plenty of oral fluids and take rest and self isolate yourself .if you develop any breathlessness then consul a physician. You can consult privately for any further assistance.

Not cough is always associated with covid 19.
If you don't have fever and no travel history or any communication with person having travel history, do not worry.
Take steam 3-4 times/day for 5 days. If your symptom do not come down or if it aggravates, kindly consult soon.

It's difficult to diagnose with the history provided, appears you have respiratory tract involvement. Any fever, cold, bodyache? May I know why you are taking aspirin/hep, any vascular history? If this is related to the same, then I would suggest you to consult nearby care asap. Tests that could help: routine blood (cbc), chest xray, clotting profile, d dimer & so on.
Advice: it would be better if you could visit nearby hospital for appropriate care.
