I bought extra Tylenol in all doses and powders (for younger kids), recovery fluids in powder form for better hydration, and a pulse ox.
And Omicron is so highly contagious it wouldn’t work anyways.
Spouse got it we didn’t isolate him and none of us tested positive—even close contact with him all week. We continue to home test and still all negative.
Home tests? Try getting PCR tests please.

For me, the problem is less the symptoms and more the “not being able to leave the house to buy food and cough drops”. Nothing wrong with anticipating all of your potential needs when you’re sick!

If you don’t have suggest humidifiers for every bedroom, throat lozenges.

I have zero energy so it might be up for weeks!!

Consider yourself fortunate that you’re able to sleep. I slept a lot the first week and a half. Now at three weeks out, I have something similar to insomnia and it’s awful. As tired as I feel, I am not able to fall asleep and stay asleep. This all happened over the past week and a half.
