Read then package instructions. Dosage amount and duration is clearly delineated. Talk to your GP. There are anti-viral meds available.

No more 4 gm in a day, no alcohol. Tylenol is generally safe. If you take other "cold" medicines make sure you account for the acetaminophen in those preparations.

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?
