Day Four Update (1 Viewer)

I was officially diagnosed yesterday, but covid symptomology started on Monday. So, four days. What's good? My chills are not returning. Neither is my headache or muscle pain. My sore throat that feels like razors has persisted though and I did have a mean cough last night but haven't had any symptoms today. I did find out that an exploratory study in India showed that using OTC cough medicine to dull symptoms is actually bad and lengthen the duration of covid though... fml.

Appetite is minimal. I saw some food yesterday that I did find visually appealing, but it didn't make me hungry at all. Peppermint tends to help my cough and sore throat and as such I have been taking that. Peppermint is known to be a natural appetite suppressant. So, with the peppermint and covid, I haven't been very hungry.

hmm i think i would trade extended duration for less pain if the otc stuff works though.
Especially since the otc stuff i get helps me sleep and that is what colds usually jack up.

What I had was cough syrup and I wasn't really following directions and just chugging since I lost the measuring cup. Probably 3 serving sizes. lol
