I got COVID for the first time a couple months ago. I was symptomatic 2 days before testing positive (worst fucking sore throat of my life) but on the third day I was able to start Paxlovid. I’m 51, asthma, and 10lbs over the line that qualifies me as obese.
I don’t have the words to describe the nightmare that medicine created in my mouth, BUT I would take it again under those circumstances. It seriously stopped the progression of my sickness. I ended up with a mildly sore throat for almost 3 weeks and it took about 5-6 weeks to recover from the fatigue.
