You could ring the homeopathic helpline? Or maybe you have already.

Are you sure it is "just a virus"? As opposed to "the virus"? Have you had medical advice?

And about time too! Mind you - a few days before she developed Covid, my GP here told me a cough was no longer a big thing. What was the worst symptom for her? Yup - a cough, lasted for weeks

'There you go,'........PMRpro's GP told her that a cough as a symptom of Covid was no longer a big thing but when she herself had Covid the worst symptom was a cough. 'There you go!' She disproved her own theory.

I am on sick day rules too ( endocrinologist orders). My lower abdomen reacted with pain ( might be just me) and a sleepless night. Be careful of your digestive system and get plenty of rest.

Bland diet - and plenty of fluids is the usual approach.

The US likes its BRAT diet:

The NHS is lest prescriptive:
