I have found the best way to avoid the pneumonia aspect is to take half a Benadryl as soon as I feel sniffling.
The antihistamine decreases the flow into my lungs and the recovery period is very short.
I’ve had so many vaccinations recently I feel like a pin cushion. Hoping to avoid this go round.
Works for me, too.
Also, for day....take 4 hour allergy/Chlorpheniramine.
Just had shots for typhoid, Hep A & B, tetnus, MMR, influenza, Japanese Encephalitis,.......
Already had meningitis, mumps, measles, and vaccine for polio
Just about everything except rabies and yellow fever!
And worms!!!
Still won’t protect me from a new Corona virus.
I’m not a hypochondriac, just travel a lot.
