If you have an oxygen sensor, keep an eye on your blood oxygen level (check it while resting sometime in the morning, before bed). What I was told was as long as you stay above 95%, you’re golden. If it dips below that AND you can feel yourself having trouble breathing, keep a closer eye on it and go see a doctor if it dips below 90%. Might be worth a call to your primary doc if you have one to see their direction for you.
^ above assumes you’re vaccinated. If you’re not, I’d check into getting monoclonal antibodies treatment.

Guess I'll chime in. I got vaxxed in March.
I tested positive on Nov 22nd. Same as you it was basically a head cold for the most part but I did lose my smell but its coming back and I had a little vertigo but its gone. Not fun but nothing too terrible. ****ed up our holiday week of course.
Wife has covid now, she got monoclonal antibodies yesterday and her Dr prescribed her ivermectin (that shit is $100 now BTW) Z-pak, and Dexamethasone. She seems to be doing better than I did with it so far.
All I did was take Mucinex D. Should have called my Doc.
I'm not planning on getting another shot, I'll roll with my antibodies.
