What they tried
Their words about each treatment
- Paxlovid · Helped
I was prescribed Paxlovid and I honestly believe that helped me recover quicker than I normally would have.
In context ↗ - Tylenol · Helped
I take Tylenol to reduce the fever and it helps, but it doesn't help that well with the body aches and headaches.
In context ↗ - Ibuprofen · Worse
I stopped taking Ibuprofen because I was getting bloody noses quite frequently and also became extremely hot, so I completely stopped taking it.
