I'm on day 2 of symptoms with no vaccine. Fever off/on maxed at 101, body aches, chills/sweats, runny nose, small cough and overall off/on fatigue. My kids were running a fever earlier in the week but recovered very quickly and didn't even phase them.
To the urgent care physician:
Me: "what can you give me?"
Her: "nothing, go home, stay hydrated and go to the hospital if your symptoms get worse "
Me: "can you give me a cough suppressant so I can sleep at night"
Her: "nope, nothing works on a Covid cough. You can go to pharmacy to get Robitusson DM
Me: "so there is nothing you can give me?"
Her: "there is nothing, just stay hydrated and isolate for 8days" (she hands me a covid diagnosis slip)
I have a 7month pregnant wife who contracted covid during the 1st trimester. She is all freaked out which elevates the stress level in the house
My initial score, this is about 50% as bad as the flu. I find walks around the block feels good with the hot sun.
Any other advise is appreciated
