Well, I'm pretty sure I have it. Anyone who's had it before, do you have any recommendations on over-the-counter medication to treat the symptoms? The headache and chills are especially bad.

When I had it in Feb of 2020, I used EmergenC packets, NyQuil, alternating Advil/Tylenol, and lots of fluids.

Steam baths also help get the congestion out and open up the lungs.

It was out of my system in a week.

I'm actually more concerned about my mom now. I exposed them both by going for Christmas. And my dad is having a fit because I admitted that I stopped wearing masks when going into stores.

Dude don't worry, all you can do is hope for the best and be more cautious for the next time around.

You also took the vaccine and still got it so be sure to bring that up with your father as you have had reason to believe you couldn't catch covid.

He acknowledges that already. I tried explaining about particle size vs. filter size and shit, but he just won't have it. He insists that since people at the hospital wear masks, they must help the wearer.

The only real plus out of this is that now I'll have better immunity than the vaccines offer. Just hope I didn't end up killing mom.

For those that didn't know the CDC has changed guidelin3s you only have to isolate for 5 instead of 10 days now.
Sunday was my five days

Only for non-symptomatic people, though. My ass is stuck here for 10 still. Well, technically until 24 hours after my fever has gone away.
