Wife works in ER, caught covid. Miscers who beat it GTFIH (srs)

[gymratbruh]

Wife works in ER, got exposed to a huge family, all with covid. Ages ranging from babies to old folks. She said it was sad.

Anyways, she started getting body aches today while working, got tested, came back positive. Me and my 4 year old son had to go get tested. Came back negative but gotta go back for retests on day 3 or if we start feeling symptoms.

You already know she's double vaxxed, mandatory to keep her job. Wasn't gonna let my lady do it alone, so I obviously joined her. Not really looking to debate whether it was a good idea to get the jab. I got mine for my reasons. You did or not did get yours for your reason(s) and I respect that.

We knew it wouldn't prevent infection, we knew it was inevitable cause chit, she's in direct contact with the infected almost every day.

So yeah, former covid brahs. Vaxxed and unvaxxed. What were your symptoms? And how long did they last? What did you do? What kind of food you eat? I been hearing OJ is popular.

She has to wait 5 days to get retested before going back to work. I gotta do the same.

Fkin, my poor kid brahs. They used that long stick test in the nostril. I cried hearing him scream in pain while I held him down. I felt so powerless. Dang kid gave me the biggest hug after and asked if he's strong like me. Just something about seeing my baby boy cry like that. Still has me in tears. Feel helpless brahs. I just want to make them feel better.

Just looking for some guidance and positivity honestly. My wife and son are my everythings.

Take some TIME RELEASE Vitamin C

[8pieces]

literally did nothing besides rot in bed. if it was omicron which is what it probably is. it'll pass in like 2-3 days

[Silencespeaks]

Don’t test your kid. Just assume he has it and keep him at home for five days or however long his symptoms last. The test causes pain and anxiety for kids and is not worth it if you can just keep him home anyway.

[Vhagar]

Symptoms lasted a little over a week

Started on a Sunday night after I golfed. Lower back was absolutely on fire and I had terrible chills. Both passed by the next morning. Biggest symptom was extreme exhaustion. Didn’t have much of a cough, no fever. Lost smell and taste but they both came back within a few weeks.

I drank water and Gatorade, ate whatever I could door dash. Crushed a few baconators that week. Unless your family is in terrible health I wouldn’t worry about it at all.

[ujelly]

My family had covid about 3 months ago. You can find my post. I ended up in the hospital for 7 days . Went home on oxygen. Wife and kids were just normal sick. From what I can tell is omicron doesn't attack the lungs like delta does. Eat right . Stay away from sugar. You will make it.

[Natty99]

What were your symptoms? And how long did they last? What did you do? What kind of food you eat? I been hearing OJ is popular.

Btw why did your son have to get tested?

As for when I had covid in December 2021 the loss of appetite and smell lasted 2 weeks. Had chills for 3-5 days. Never had a cough or fever. I was antibody and antigen positive thanks to my family member having surplus test kits from work.

[Silencespeaks]

Anyway I had it last March so well before omicron. Mine was very mild and just had congestion and runny nose and sneezing. Stayed home for 10 days (guidelines back then) and was fine after that.

This seems like a good resource:

Hope you all feel better.

How did you know it was covid 19 and not the hundreds of other viruses that cause colds?

[Sinan09400]

Oh my god dude shut the fukc up this isnt Aids. My unvaxxed 92 yo grandma got over it within days.


Inb4 you make a thread next time when you scratch your knee

[elterrible987]

Im a covid survivor myself


you literally do nothing op. just lay down and drink water. 99,9% of people dont need medical treatment.

lol at freaking out over a cold. no treatment required op just rest which they already gave you forced time off work

[StoliFun]

Nothing you can do. Just treat the symptoms as they come up. Chicken soup, OTC pain relievers, decongestants. Natural therapeutics like ginger tea and honey.

Does she know if it is delta or omicron?

[Silencespeaks]

I got tested. I was sure it would be negative because I thought it was a cold but it was positive.

[Silencespeaks]

PS if you make enough to support your family then have her quit and stay home with your kid. Everyone will be better off.

[AlwaysFocus]

I found when breathing got hard i just lay on my stomach or prone and i started getting better, even though i hate that position

[Vhagar]

That’s great advice in a thread about covid symptoms lmao

[DrAlchemist]

On top of what has been suggested, eat a bunch of lean beef for dat der Zinc boost

[Kraken]

Your wife works in the ER, but she didn’t realize that getting tested without signs and symptoms are ridiculous? This is what I don’t get about the medical community. This isn’t a medically scientific approach for viral infections.

Regardless, unless you’re testing for the specific strain, you can’t know exactly what to do. If it’s omicron, you do nothing. It appears as though it doesn’t respond to the previously known treatments. If it’s delta, it would be recommended for her to get the antibody treatment if signs and symptoms are severe.

Otherwise, if she is young and healthy, she just needs rest and hydrate

[Brovakhiin]

You will all be fine OP. More than likely is Omnicron which I know several people who have gotten it older family included and have done just fine getting over it. Symptoms were: Sore throat (main one), fever/chills, aches, and head ache for few days.

Some developed a cough but went away after a day or two. If you're not doing so yet suggest to take some Vitamin D and Zinc.

Also, some guy up there suggested to not get your kids tested. I agree, no point in making them go through the pain, just assume they have it and will be fine.

[Fang2]

monster energy drinks helped me. srs

[Joseph1990]

Dont test the kid wtf, I haven't seen anyone mention NAC yet.

[Peacening]

Exposed 12/25, unvaxxed

12/27 sore throat
12/28 fever up to 102.x
12/29 light fever, chills all day
12/30 no fever but sore throat and chills
12/31 fatigue and cough
1/1 fatigue and productive cough
1/2 productive cough
1/3 no more symptoms aside from residual cough, otherwise 100% back to normal


Took a bunch of vits like C, D3, zinc, quercetin, etc. Pretty sure they did absolutely nothing for me unless you take all that chit daily leading up to exposure it's not going to help.


Edit: my two year old got it too and had a fever for two days that peaked at 102, a quick lukewarm bath knocked that out and she was fine the next day.

[gainztrain818]

Let me get this straight, you all get jabbed with a useless vaccine to continue working jobs where you have a high risk of catching covid and now you’re looking for consolation after catching covid?


Idk what to say brah……this is all a result of your choices.


For what it’s worth, you will be fine…I just caught it again after catching delta in the Summer and I’m basically back to 100% after three days - didn’t even lose taste/smell this time around.


Chill.

[bigcat3655]

I'm on of those ones that got their azz kicked by it. Sick for 3 weeks, 2 days in the hospital, home oxygen for two weeks after that.

Thank you all for your service.

[wolfofmarkcity]

Unvaxxxed and caught original COVID in late 2019. I usually get sick a couple of times a year. With covid I was in bed for 4 or 5 days and had a lingering cough for 3 months. The cough was probably something else though, since I hate hospitals and didn't get tested or treated.

Even with the original cuckvid that was way worse than the current variants it was like a bad cold. Really nothing to worry about unless your health is ****ed.

[infinityplus1]

Guava nector

[Ratfish]

Pureblood

Started on Sunday for me

2-3 days of backaches of peace and fever of around 100

Now the occasional cough

Pretty bad cold

No idea why you tested your kid. There's nothing to do with that information and the PCR tests aren't even legit

As I've said in other threads, homiecron is the second most communicable virus ever after measles, so everyone is gonna lose a week of their lives no matter what

Ricola menthol cough drops help a lot and try to eat as much beef as possible for the zinc. My confidence in mineral supps is low

[demfeelsbro]

Would you be this worried if she caught flu? You have nothing to worry about.
