Any medicines that helped keep symptoms mild?

I've tested positive this morning 😭

I'm jabbed & boosted & taking vit D & a multivitamin, but I'm the most overweight, (very), I've ever been after a difficult year. Any advice on supplements or other things that help get through it would be great thanks 😁

@Armpittits I'm not entirely sure; I feel like symptoms were brewing for a couple of days before I actually tested positive. Day 2 from positive test but I think I would have tested pos the afternoon before.

Yesterday I felt very unwell indeed. Today a bit better but will see.

I'm taking extra vit D.

I'm definitely having to use my inhalers more; can feel it trying to kick things off in my lungs.

I'm craving meat and fatty foods eg butter. Maybe zinc?

Taste definitely not affected!

Interesting. I was wondering what day symptoms get peak bad as don't want to get joyous about mild symptoms too early.

I'm weak & tired but have done nothing but binge tv shows yest & today. If I couldn't just do nothing, I know I'd feel really shit.

My Pcr was Monday & today is the first I've had a faint positive on LFT.

You see I was negative on lft the day before I tested positive. My children have had it so I have been testing 2x a day in a paranoid manner Grin
Finally tested positive on day8 of my dd1’s test!! She tested negative that day Envy
I’m now on day 3 from positive test and feel pretty crappy still. Weak and tired. Coughing a lot, lost my voice( not good when you’ve got 4 kids running riot) and lungs feel like they’ve had a round with Mike Tyson.
How you feel better very soon! Flowers

Antihistamines. Take one daily. Several people i know its helped.
Vitamin d and zinc
Sambucol elderberry syrup
Herbal tea, particularly pukka echidna and their ginger one (tastes vile but )

Bluebellfae · 26/01/2022 18:50

Sorry thats meant to say pukka echichnea and elderberry tea

The ginger one is the vile tasting one but good reviews on amazon

Sending hugs xx

Early on (2020) there were news articles suggesting ibuprofen was not a good idea. Anyone got any update on that?

NAC is supposed to be good to take if you have covid. i also took a berroca daily. And fresh squeezed oj or carrot juice. Hot ginger tea w honey and lemon. Paracetamol and Ibprofen for the pain (alternating them).
