Difficulty breathing: If you are having difficulty breathing, please see a physician. If there are more than mild symptoms, the Emergency room or acute care center is recommended. A chest image may be obtained and your O2 saturation measured in a clinical setting. Until you are evaluated, please rest, drink fluids and take Tylenol for fever, rather than Motrin products.

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?
