Re: Covid positive
For about a week I've had sore throat, blocked/runny nose, and a (phlegmy) cough. No fever or headaches. I've done three tests (throat/nose) and all were negative during this time. I really hate being paranoid but maybe it really is just a cold.
Good luck @Chuck Borris hope you're better soon.

Covid positive
Molnupiravir tablets are now available in cambodia and are shown to reduce the length of time of symptoms. They are about $60 per course of treatment.

Re: Covid positive
Thank you Timmy, I had a bad running nose 2 weeks ago, was negative. Tonight I got fever and muscle ache, no running nose, headache or sore throat so far. Did test in the morning. My friend with who I had close contact on Saturday tested positive as well.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 12:22 pm For about a week I've had sore throat, blocked/runny nose, and a (phlegmy) cough.

Re: Covid positive
Chuck hope you feel better soon. Try to avoid hospitals.
I recently had all the symptoms, sore throat, blocked/runny nose, and a (phlegmy) cough. headaches, and even the Covid rash. I have been doing the hospital runs of late.
Last swabs up my nose, think they were doing a brain scrape, my eyes were watering, but $5 for the test, was negative. And with visiting hospitals, the rash is scabies.
I have just seen another rat in the ICU with two cats trying to get it, and I am sleeping on the ICU floor.

Dont want to be a minute in Khmer covid centers.
Any remedies, medicine recommended? TIA.
Go for broad spectrum antibiotic like amoxicillin if you don't want to know the answer
What overprescription of antibiotics has however done is brought about the rise of drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis in many developing countries, including Cambodia. So knock it off.

Re: Covid positive
Not going to experiment with dubious medicine. I took Doliprane 1000mg every 6 hours yesterday, as my fever was over 39C. Today my fever is less than 39C, feel a bit better, I also increased vitamins intake. Still every muscle hurt, but luckily no running nose, sore throat or headache.

Re: Covid positive
That is true. But it is often the case that viruses can trigger a consequential bacterial infection especially viruses that affect the respiratory system like the flu and covid. Runny nose and phlegm running down the back of the throat. Back in Jan 2020 I caught what I thought at the time was the flu (but now suspect covid) and got the flu like symptoms ie temperature, hot and cold, body aches and pains and runny nose. Within a day I had a cough and another day a much deeper one that urged me to go to a doctor urgently who said I had bronchitus already. I had no choice but take antibiotics at that point. He said if I didn't treat that quickly it can develop into pneumonia.nerdlinger wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 6:02 amAntibiotics do nothing against viruses.

But yeah, they're becoming really resistant. Some months ago I had H. Pylori a nasty and resistant bacterial stomach infection and I had to take a cocktail of several varieties of antibiotic for a period of 2 weeks to knock it out. It worked but not nice.
By the way, moved the Ivermectin posts to an existing dedicated topic for that. Let's not derail this topic for the OP.
Re: Covid positive
OP, don't know if you're on stomach acid reducers, but I know many are.
If you are, quit taking them while going through this. If not the virus might pass on to your intestines because of lack of (virus killing) acid in your stomach which might lead to all kind of trouble there if you keep taking the whatever-zole medication.
For the rest, monitor your fluid intake. Put yourself on a schedule of at least 3L a day and try to stick to it.
