If you are in Maryland, go here:
https://health.maryland.gov/newsroom/Pages/Maryland-Department-of-Health-and-partners-launch-COVID-Test-to-Treat-program-at-State-Center-in-Baltimore-City.aspx

on that page click the link for the “self-referral” and someone from Baltimore will call you back, ask a few brief screening questions and then set up a telemedicine visit to be evaluated for Paxlovid. If you qualify, they will prescribe thru a local pharmacy.

It is totally free to the patient - telehealth visit and medication.

Paxlovid won’t shorten Covid or improve symptoms. It will only help prevent hospitalization and death.

Honestly they should be asking you to leave

Or they should leave themselves

I think you should drive home. How far away is home?

Doc told me to take 3 ibuprofen three times a day.

They will do phone consult and call in meds. All free.
Get it asap

Can you elaborate on this ( the VA and MD ones) or provide weblink? Thanks

I would check into a hotel to get lots of sleep and downtime.

You can take either. Whatever you prefer is fine

Tylenol and just stay in your room or check into a hotel

Ha - exactly the same here (at in-laws who we haven’t seen for 3 years because of Covid!). I have been taking Advil for fevers and isolating of course.

I'd take neither. Fever fights the virus. If it got 101+, then I'd take a pain reliever. Instead, I'd take CBD, C, zinc.. A study says CBD stopped viral replication. Good luck!

I'd stay in my room. Have spouse deliver my meals.

What a mess. I tested before we came up here and was negative. Now 3 days later I am positive, fever at 99.7 and have chills all evening. I have been wearing my mask all day in their house which they think is ridiculous as they said every window in house is open and there’s a cool breeze. My legs are killing me, almost feels like flu. Should I take Tylenol or Advil to help offset my leg soreness and sleep. This sucks. Help! I am 43 and healthy for most part! If I go home, the drive will kick my butt and I already exposed them at this stage.
