Specializes in Psychiatry

It sounds like you: Do not know what species of spider bit you. Some spiders are venomous. Encourage you to be seen at an emergency room for wound care & possible tetanus shot.

My wife has COVID for the last 3 days and is generally getting better every day on just Tylenol. Her throat hurts quite a bit when the effect wears of. We heard from some friends they took an expectorant like DayQuil. Is that a good idea/necessary?
