You may take your asthma medication as directed. Your weakness may be a manifestation of Covid infection rather than Aspirin. If you need pain relief, you may take acetaminophen/paracetamol. If your symptoms persist, it would be prudent to see a doctor. In 6-8 weeks, consider getting Covid vaccine. Wish you good health.

NSAIDS or Tylenol are often effective in reducing fever, but not usually required otherwise. Monitor temperature and breathing and watch for signs of shortness of breath, wheezing and prolonged cough. Follow your asthma plan, and an inhaled steroid may be helpful. Stay well hydrated and please follow up with your physician. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
