Ask your doctor : If you truly had COVID-19 and recovered, you should be fine with most medications, however in the next weeks I would avoid ibuprofen and use a different analgesic if ne essary

Agree with Dr, G: Acetaminophen is generally safer. Do not take more than 4.0 gm in one day and avoid alcohol. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

I tested positive for Covid last week and today is the last day of my isolation period. However, Ive had an extremely bad headache since yesterday. Sharp stabbing pain on the left side of my head near my temple. Takes my breath away when it happens. Neither Advil nor Tylenol have seemed to work for it. What should I do? Headache?

I am on day 8 of COVID. The worst symptoms have been nasal congestion and bad sinus pain (my teeth hurt and low forehead hurts to touch). Even with Tylenol and Advil. How concerning is this? Do I wait a few more days before call Dr for antibiotics?
