Tested positive 2 days ago and so far luckily it feels just like a cold. Blocked nose bit achy, on and off headache, very minor cough. Obviously hope it stays this way but any tips on helping myself?
Rest, plenty water, berocca so far...
Anything else anyone can recommend to try to prevent it worsening? I'm doubled jabbed, TIA

Rest and plenty of fluids seems to be the way to go.

I found hot baths helped but I had bad body aches which the hot water soothed. Baths also helped pass the time and keep me calmer as I was very anxious. (I had Covid before the vaccines were available).

I hope you recover quickly and as you've had your vaccines it's no worse than a normal cold.
