My husband received a positive test result, he has been told to stay home, & self isolate. Take tylenol for any headaches, or pains. He is in his late 60s. As long as he is breathing Ok, they don't seem bothered. Call you local medical facility if you are unsure.
Sleep on your stomach. If you can't tolerate it, then stay on your side. Co-sign the vitamin supplements. Get up and move around the house as often as possible, even if you don't feel like it. Take deep breaths in through your nose & out through your mouth whenever you can think of it.
]If you have a pulse oximeter, you could monitor your PO2 ( oxygen levels), if it falls below say 94-95 ( depending on your general respiratory health), or you have trouble breathing as you mention, then you follow the instructions to go to the ER.
Good idea to get one of these, just in case. COVID can cause something called "silent hypoxia". If you're oxygen levels start getting low you need to talk to your doctor ASAP. If the levels are low enough you might want to head to the ER.

Typically, these patients have experienced some Covid-19 symptoms for two to seven days before they show up at the hospital complaining of sudden chest tightness or an inability to breathe deeply, said Dr. Richard Levitan, ...
... There he watched patients come into the emergency room with blood oxygen levels as low as 50%, so low they should have been incoherent, even unconscious. Normal blood oxygen saturation is between 95% and 100%, and anything below 90% is considered abnormal.
In addition, Levitan said, scans of these patients' lungs showed signs of pneumonia so severe they should be in terrible pain as they gasp for their next breath.
"Their X-ray's looked awful, their oxygen was terrible, and yet they're completely awake, alert on a cell phone, and they all said is they've been somewhat sick for days," he said. "And then only recently did they notice either shortness of breath or fatigue or something else," Levitan added. "That's what is so fascinating about this disease and also so terrible."
It's terrible because by the time a person realizes they are having trouble taking a deep breath and reaches out for help, they are already dangerously sick.
This method seem to help a little bit every Vietnamese do this when they get Covid you can try if you can tolerate the heat and make sure you cover up entire body with a blanket and no clothes.
This method also used for cold & flu.
This is in Vietnamese but you can click to translate in English
My friend who I was exposed to, seems to have major lower back pain from the Covid. She went to the Emergency Clinic today and they simply told her, water, rest, aspirin (or tylenol I can't remember which) and WALK to keep the lungs clear. Her Oxygen started falling while she was at the clinic.
It's honestly like any other respiratory infection for most people. I'm sure your doctor's office instructed you to treat the symptoms ( ie, tylenol, nsaids, OTC cold/ sinus meds to relieve symptoms, stay hydrated, rest as you can.
If you have a pulse oximeter, you could monitor your PO2 ( oxygen levels), if it falls below say 94-95 ( depending on your general respiratory health), or you have trouble breathing as you mention, then you follow the instructions to go to the ER.
Taking the vitamin D and zinc sounds like a good idea.
Get well soon!
I think the pulse oximeter is what saved my stepmother-in-law. Her oxygen levels dropped into the 80s while she was sleeping, and luckily my father in law slipped it on her finger and tested her while she was asleep. She went to the ER and had to get IV antibiotics and steroids, now she seems to be doing better.
NIH said they will "consider" updating the official protocol to include Ivermectin early Feb., I would try to get a prescription, text or call one of these doctors.
Prophylaxis
â– Vitamin C 500 mg BID (twice daily) and Quercetin 250 mg daily
â– Vitamin D3 1000-4000 u/day
â– B complex vitamins
â– Zinc 30-50 mg/day
â– Melatonin (slow release): Begin with 0.3mg and increase as tolerated to 2 mg at night
â– Ivermectin for postexposure prophylaxis (200 ug/kg immediately, then repeat on day
3) and prophylaxis in high-risk groups (200 ug/kg day 1, then day 3 and then every 4
weeks) Mildly Symptomatic patients (at home):
â– Ivermectin 150-200 ug/kg daily for two doses
â– Vitamin C 500mg BID and Quercetin 250-500 mg BID
â– Vitamin D3 2000 - 4000 u/day
â– B Complex vitamins
â– Zinc 75-100 mg/day
â– Melatonin 6-10 mg at night (the optimal dose is unknown)
â– ASA aspirin 81-325 mg/day (unless contraindicated)
In symptomatic patients, monitoring with home pulse oximetry is recommended.
Ambulatory desaturation below 94% should prompt hospital admission
Your Vitamin C and D recommendation is too low. Almost all MD channels recommend a dosage of 15k-20k MG of Vitamin C in 5k in multiple doses throughout the day. 20k IU of Vitamin D3 along with Calcium and magnesium for better absorption. SARS viruses have the ability to remove Vitamin D from cells so it's important to up the dosage to keep your cells protected.
If you follow this as some MD channel who contracted COVID19, the symptoms immediately drops after 48 hours of following this regime with the Ivermectin.
This is what the FDA and CDC is not directing our healthcare system instead they are focused on vaccination.
