Called the hotline and they said if I haven’t been out of the country or had direct contact with someone known to have COVID-19, they wouldn’t test me and that I just needed to stay home and rest until I haven’t had a fever for 24 hours. Hard to know what I have or how to treat it given all of that.

could be a number of viruses and all treated the same mostly and that is to let it run its course, get rest, treat the symptoms etc.. if you start having shortness of breath and can't control the fever and with Tylenol and advil you can consider maybe going to a hospital but they can't do much more for you other than monitor you incase you need more urgent care.
could try Tamiflu .
