Ive had a virus all week. all my c19 tests have been negative, but i lost my taste&smell, so im assuming its c19. im almost feeling better but im having really intense head/ear pressure and its scaring me. ive tried sudafed&mucinex - no help?

Try Nasonex for viral rhinitis + Ibuprofen OTC 200 mg x 3 tablets every 6 hours with full stomach as needed for intense head and ear pressure for 2-3 days. It could be Covid-19 or a different respiratory virus and it does not matter. Presently, Omicron acts like a cold or flu virus. You can lay off Sudafed and Mucinex.
