Benefit of this med is most often seen if taken early in the process. After symptom day 5, the benefit may be minimal.

Pulse ox keeps fluctuating from 92-99 pulse ox with 60-86bpm. Is this okay? I am covid positive and also have sleep apnea. Ears are ringing, tired. I don't feel short of breath just really fatigued?
