Any tips? Prefer no medical intervention if I can avoid it. Day 5 now and breathing is a little harder.

Or try loading up on vitamin C and zinc with a zinc Ioniphor. Without an ioniphor, zinc is pretty useless for these purposes and can have some mild side effects to boot, so don't forget the ioniphor. Ioniphors can include Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, or Quercetin. Quercetin is an OTC natural product, the others require prescriptions I believe.

Did you try albuterol in a nebulizer? It could open your air way even if you don't have asthma.

Everyone should have a pulse oximeter at home and check it periodically, even on Shabbos, if they have coronavirus.

Call your doctor now instead of asking on this site. Better off getting medical intervention too early than regretting it later. Refuah shelaima!

Make sure you have a pulse ox. Monitor yourself. Seek medical attention if needed.. Get the hydrogen peroxide blend from one of the Gamachs if you are in Brooklyn, lakewood or Monsey (not sure who else has it). Take zinc, quercetin, C, D, enzyme defense, NAC.

Sounds like you need medical intervention at this point even if it’s just oxygen. When my dh had Covid he called his doctor right away and she gave him A bunch of vitamins And dosages to take them. And would constantly follow up . Bh He didn’t have breathing issues. Once you have breathing issues I think you should really call a doctor and Figure out what your next step should be.

Rest in a prone position,on your stomach. Steam,vapor from hot showers should also offer some relief. Refuah sheleima!

I also have Covid now. I didn’t think I was doing so badly but my doctor recommended the plasma treatment. Please find out if it is available in your area.

I would try to get hcq and ivermectin, frontline doctors prescribing them remotely. Nebulizer with essential oils, iodine, food grade hydrogen peroxide, pure glutathione. Look up the high dose melatonin and ascorbic acid protocols from Doris loh. There are also a bunch of herbals that target covid, olive leaf extract, Japanese knotweed, licorice, astragalus, Chinese skullcap, Bidens pilots, inula (elecampagne) come to mind. Also, anything that takes down inflammation and cytokine storms so NAC, glutathione, turmeric, ibuprophen.

Omg please check your o2 levels NOW and don't be silly if low oxygen run for medical attention. Research good hospital if needed. N pls try to get the plasma treatment. If trouble breathing it may be serious already. Dont panic but don't be stupid either please! (My mother unfortunately was nifteres from covid and did wait too long bec she thought it was nothing so worth not pushing off medical intervention jst find great hospital pls)

THIS. If you have breathing issues, please don't wait around. It can progress quite rapidly.

In trying to avoid mild medical interventions, a person may end up needing extensive medical interventions, God forbid. I'll repeat the comment above - Please don't be stupid.

Please see a Dr.
I made that mistake of thinking my friends didn’t have it bad so I’ll just wait it out. BH I’m fine & you will be too but I missed the window of opportunity for treatment which was a mistake!
See a Dr & get treatment asap!

I had really bad covid, was hospitalised, best thing you can do is spend as much time as possible on your stomache, all the nurses and drs were saying that...I spent 4 days in hospital on my stomache
