I don't see an end in sight. My primary care provider would not prescribe paxlovid because of my age and no pre-existing health conditions. Does anyone have any homeopathic supplements they would recommend to speed my recovery? I cannot miss more work. It hit my daughter (age 14) similarly but she recovered in 3 days but spouse now has it 4 days later and is following a similar course. I'm really curious what variant this is.
OP, I currently have Covid. Age 61, F, tested positive on Wednesday. My PCP has me on the following:
Zinc 50 mg 2/day; Quercetin 1500 mg per day; D3
I'm drinking oj for vitamin C
Upper respiratory has been the worst. My PCP said to use the Afrin nasal spray. Using label dose of Afrin nasal spray.
Head pain--label dose of Tylenol (I prefer NSaids but can't tolerate them)
Head pain--continual use of ice gel packs and bags of frozen veggies, applied to cheeks, front of neck, back of neck top of head
I had fever and severe face pain the first 2 days such that I could not text, could not watch tv, could not get on computer, I was really
in severe pain. My teeth hurt, my cheeks hurt, my neck hurt, my head hurt. I applied continual ice packs.
Day 3, (yesterday) I was finally able to text and log into the computer and watch a little tv.
Day 4--after using the Afrin 3 days straight I have not had to use any today. I've used about 10 tissues today vs 4 boxes tissues day 1-3.
I'm still weak and fatigued.
Best of luck!
