That’s good 👍

Antibiotics are for a chest infection, it's very common I take them regularly so don't worry. Just keep your chest clear as you can.

[Blueruth in reply to Hidden]

Take them regularly? Not good. Bad for everyone, not just you. who.int/news-room/fact-shee...

[Hidden in reply to Blueruth]

I know the science, I have multiple respiratory issues, I don't take them for fun.

[Blueruth in reply to Hidden]

Good to know! Maybe qualify it when suggesting people take them regularly.

[Hidden]

I didn't say take them regularly, I said "I take them regularly" .Maybe take your passive aggressive comments somewhere else. That's the reason I don't post on here much.

I hope it's not too late for you to obtain anti viral tablets.

[Worryinglady in reply to rosatt1]

Anti viral tablets?

[Blueruth in reply to Worryinglady]

Doesn’t cure a virus. It slows it down. No idea if that is even an option here but it would be better than antibiotics which don’t even work on a virus.

(Imp.... The following home remedies work for me... But you can decide whether you wanted to try or not...). Hi

Whenever I have cough, I turn to my kitchen. I take Honey to soothe my throat. But remember after taking honey you shouldn't take anything for at least 20 min (not even water).

Also, I take mint tea with a pinch of black pepper powder or Clove powder. Be careful, If you have acidity. or else, I slowly chew a clove and take the juice.

The logic is,,, Honey coats the throat and lessens the irritation. pepper/clove powder loosens the phlegm due to their heating properties.

Hope you are doing better! It was a rough 7 days for me with back in May even after all the vaccines but eventually got better.

[Worryinglady in reply to Skiigyrl]

I’ve had all my vaccines too 😬 I’m on day 6 kind of feel bit better just shattered all the time and cough keep getting hot flushes too

[Stilltrying2 in reply to Worryinglady]

So good that you are feeling better! It sounds like the worst of it may be over.

[Stilltrying2 in reply to Worryinglady]

How are your symptoms today? Are you feeling better?

[Worryinglady in reply to Stilltrying2]

Yes do feel better just tired now 😬

Don't bother with your Doctor, call 111, and let them advise you what to do,

Cheers, midori

I've had covid 3 times the last one was the xe varient I found ibuprofen to work wonders on it because ibuprofen is alkaline and covid thrives in and creates an acidic environment

[Minette53]

Me too it’s my sixth day of Covid and still positive . I still have headaches not as bad as before though, nausea and a tickle in my throat that makes me cough. Woke up yesterday at 5am with a panic attack thinking that my heart was going to stop beating. I was terrified and spent the morning crying.
