Thanks for sharing the Paxlovid experience. Yes, this is a commonly reported issue with the five day dosages. It recedes while the medication is in effect and then returns later. People describe the secondary infection as mild, so maybe it did help some, and as long as you don’t have side effects, they will call it a success. I you dod have side effects, they will blame it on anything else.

I had it in April and the doctor got me Paxlovid with the instructions “if you’re desperate witching five days of onset”

Then they said “it can give you hepatitis”. So nope. Five days symptoms and then recovery. Bad flu but not the worst.

[[Bad flu but not the worst.]]

That was my experience and hte experience of 2 other family members- We’ve certainly had worse flues before-

the rebound covid was milder, still unpleasant, but not as bad- didn’t have a fever the second time- but did get real weak and tired-
