It took 3.5 years, and a sick baby.

But I finally. Finally. Have Covid.

@kilnfiendpotter ah, hell, I'm sorry. Hope you're not feeling it too badly
@kilnfiendpotter Shit. I hope it will be mild.
@kilnfiendpotter May all of your symptoms be mild; and may all of you have as much time to rest as possible. ❤️
@kilnfiendpotter Oh no! It's really been going around right now. Take it easy as much as you're able!
@kilnfiendpotter Speedy and full recovery wishes
@kilnfiendpotter Best wishes for mild symptoms and a swift recovery!
@kilnfiendpotter joining the hopes for mild symptoms for both of you.
@kilnfiendpotter Feel better soon. This new variant is sneaky.
@kilnfiendpotter noooooo! I hope it's mild and passes quickly.
@kilnfiendpotter I wish y'all a smooth recuperation and hope for no long-term effects. I pinned a post collecting my Covid recommendation posts recently, and one of those was about some OTC options:

However, that was written for adults.
Children under 2 shouldn't have antihistamines, but Infant's Advil is still an option.
Again, I'm hoping for the best for y'all.

Low-risk, over-the-counter treatments (with no Paxlovid interactions) found to improve #Covid / #Covid19 symptoms: 1 dose ibuprofen with breakfast & dinner. Reduces inflammation - a significant contributor to acute symptoms & Long Covid sequalae. 1 dose Zyrtec/Allegra/Benadryl daily. Antihistamines show results in reducing acute symptom intensity & duration, also potentially reducing chances of Long Covid sequalae. No more than ~10 days of this regimen without doctor approval & oversight.

Be More Kind
@kilnfiendpotter Welcome to the recent-COVID club! The Paxlovid taste and dry mouth are awful🤧 My mother claims coffee☕ or tonic water overwrites the bad taste.
@kilnfiendpotter this is how we got it too, back in August. Hoping you all have mild cases (chibi did for us, spouse was mid, I was bad).
@kilnfiendpotter that’s how it got me. Get as much rest as you can, COVID can fuck with your mitochondria.
@kilnfiendpotter shit, hope you and the little one are ok and it's not to severe.
@kilnfiendpotter May its symptoms be mild and pass quickly.
@kilnfiendpotter may it pass through your household with minimal consequences
