I suggest you add Benadryl ( or the genetic equivalent) to your home treatment plan. Take with milk or a milk product as per box directions at the first symptoms. The Benadryl and milk protocol is very new. Just read about it a few weeks ago. Treated my daughter last week when she developed covid symptoms after multiple exposures in her workplace.
Benadryl and hot chocolate over 3 days ( plus other supplements) completely and rapidly knocked down her fatigue, body aches, headache, fever, and GI issues. I was really surprised. I think somehow the Benadryl milk synergy is stopping the immune reaction from going hyper, like cytokine storm. And that immune reaction is causing a lot of the symptoms.
I have been reading a lot of similar good reports.
This is a treatment suggestion. Not a preventive.
I had heard of Benadryl use, but I need to see further exactly what it's doing so that it doesn't conflict with or duplicate something that I'm already doing.

While it seems promising, it looks like it duplicates the goal of Zinc and Quercetin in that it blocks the replication of the COVID-19 virus in the targeted cell.
My concern about taking Benadryl is that I am taking Quercetin and Zinc as a prophylactic; I'm not waiting to confirm having COVID-19 before taking it. Quercetin is plant-based, mostly from onions and green leafy plants. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine medication.
If I wait until I know I have COVID-19 to take the Benadryl therapy, then the virus will have been in my body for days before I begin the treatment. If I take it as a preventative, I risk building up a resistance to Benadryl when I need it for allergies and other uses.
For now, I will continue with the natural, non-medicine preventative therapy of Quercetin and Zinc to prevent the replication of the COVID-19 virus in my body.
Thanks for suggesting it to me. It might be an appropriate therapy for others, but not for me given the rest of my regimen.
