Question 3

Accepted Answer

Few days to..: A percentage of people that contract herpes never have an outbreak.  Or they may become infected, and experience their first outbreak months or years after exposure.  After initial exposure, some people experience flu-like symptoms, or they may begin to notice blister formation on the mouth or genitals.  So, it varies greatly, and could be from a few days to years!

Question 4

is it a symptom of psychosis to take everything the wrong way and misinterpret people's intentions? and take everything extremely seriously?

Can't say with this: limited history. The person may be overly sensitive or naturally a bit on the paranoid side. The only way to know if this is actually due to psychosis is via comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Take care.

Question 5

my son has a fever of 101.0f  he took a 600 mg. ibuprofen about 2 hours ago. now , he needs flu symptom meds. can he take 2 tbls of nyquil ? he is 17 years old.

Accepted Answer

Peroxide Humidifier: Do you have a cool mist humidifier? Fill it with one bottle of hydrogen peroxide, and two bottles of water. That will give you a 1% aerosolized mist of hydrogen peroxide. The peroxide kills the bugs on contact (virus or bacteria) as you breath in the mist, and breaks down into water and oxygen. Your son should feel better in a day or two.   Helps protect the rest of the family, too.

Question 8

how many days does it take for the body to finish building covid immunity after exposure or symptom onset?

Accepted Answer

2 weeks and 4 weeks: We make 2 different antibodies in response to viral infections. The 1st is IgM within about 2 weeks of exposure.  At 4-6 weeks IgG against COVID appears and IgM diminishes. The problem is we dont seem to develop long term immunity like we do with Chickenpox or Epstein Barr.

Question 9

i tested positive with covid 19 the only symptom is loss of smell and taste is there any medication i can take its been 14 days now?

Accepted Answer

Monitor temperature: There are treatments available for COVID 19 lung disease. Your case may be mild but viral shedding may be prolonged. Recovery may take some time, continue to monitor your temperature, use social distancing, and please report symptoms, including fever to your PCP.

Question 10

how many days after the covid positive can i take the test to get a negative? i had the first symptom at 10 days and tested positive at 7 days?

Accepted Answer

: PCR can remain positive for several weeks. Antigen testing (all home tests) usually are negative after 5-10 days. Transmission to other persons is rare beyond 10 days, even if the antigen test is still positive. Therefore, official advice is that you can stop isolating and return to work, shopping, etc (with mask and social distancing) 10 days after onset, regardless of test results.
