I am not sure why you were prescribed Paxlovid which is not indicated. However, most people do not have rebound covid syndrome when taking this medication so you should not concern. Currently, there are no clinical data to predict who will get the rebound syndrome.

There is no telling about rebound. Finish off the Paxlovid and then see what happens is all you do. Only a small percentage of people get rebound.
