Just caught COVID, symptoms are near severe.. any advice? srs

Welp the tour’s over boyos. Started with a mild fever then blew up to a 103 raging one. Experienced the chills and night sweats. It’s been 4 days with the high fever. Developed a cough, have little to no appetite. It’s been rough to say the least.
Only good thing is I have normal bowel movements. I just feel super weak and have a hard time relaxing.

Any of you brah’s have experience with the supposed treatment “Ivermectin”?

How long did it take y’all to fully recover? Is there supps or foods that you recommend I take.

Pray for brah.

All twice a day:
600-1000 mg NAC
1000 mg quercetin taken at same time as 50 mg zinc
Xlear nasal spray (walgreens or CVS)

There's more, but those would be most important.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

I have it now (day6). Gonna feel like crap for a while. All you're gonna wanna do is sleep. Eating will be hard. Your nose will be plugged and you will lose taste and smell. Just load up on soup and crackers for a while and just chill at home. You will make it srs

This is crazy….all I got was a mild fever for a day and a half, then a ridiculously sore throat + loss of smell/taste for about a week (then smell/taste gradually came back online like 10% per day). I had mild congestion, but it never got yellow or gross…just really clear and stickier than past congestion. Dry cough lasted about two days but everything was completely manageable and ‘mild’

I did notice that after I took a really long walk (was out walking like 15 miles) the day after my smell recovered the most in a day like 50%

Edit: total time from start to finish was one week…smell/taste coming back gradually and at about 80% now and never got any ‘severe’ symptoms other than a bad sore throat and aches/slight fever/lethargy.

You will beat this chit quick as long as you remain positive and let your immune system do its job (and feed it what it needs).

Sleep on your stomach. My severe symptoms lasted 6 days roughly, total illness was over 3 weeks.

Try to eat soups when you can. You will get through this.

Get yourself one of those pulse oximeters at CVS and measure your oxygen srs. If it's consistently below 95 you should go to a hospital ASAP.

Don't worry OP. 99.96% survival rate in your demographic.

Like others have mentioned: Vit C, D, Zinc, Quercetin, NAC daily.

Alternate between Tylenol and Advil every 6 hours to keep fever and body soreness down.

Catch up on Netflix.

We got you brah.

A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Go see your doctor and hope that he'll put you on Ivermectin.
