Summary
A woman’s first COVID symptom was severe tongue and mouth sores so painful she could not talk or eat, and she tested positive a day later with only a slight cough besides the sores. A doctor prescribed valtrex and a 'magic mouth rinse' that she used every four hours for ten days, the only thing that gave relief; the sores shrank and cleared after about ten days. She had the Pfizer vaccine but no booster.
