Long Term COVID Symptoms & Symptoms Retriggered by Antibiotic Use
In context ↗ - Now: Relapsed
recovering fully for a couple of months ... the symptoms have appeared to come back almost as badly as they were when the initial infection came on in April
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
I was presumed positive for Coronavirus
Summary
Fell ill in April 2020 with presumed COVID, having months of on-and-off night sweats and tiredness before recovering fully for a couple of months. Antibiotics for a dental infection then brought symptoms back almost as badly as at onset: breathlessness, lightheadedness, a wonky sense of smell and taste and mild fatigue. Oxygen readings of 97-99 on a pulse oximeter suggested a resurgence rather than reinfection.
