Long COVID is a chronic condition when patients have persistent symptoms that extend beyond the typical time frame
Two healthy middle-aged females returned to almost their normal daily activities after taking daily antihistamines for long COVID, according to a recently published case report.
The researchers noted long COVID is a chronic condition when patients who are infected with the virus have persistent symptoms that extend beyond the typical time frame for the infection to resolve, but the illness currently doesn’t have any evidence-based treatments to guide how to manage it.
"Most patients tell us that providers have not recommended anything that has helped," said co-author Melissa Pinto, associate professor at the University of California, Irvine Sue and Bill Gross School of Nursing.
The report describes the first case of a White woman in her 40s with a past medical history of Raynaud's phenomenon (a condition where there is decreased blood flow to the fingers), polycystic ovarian syndrome (a hormonal disorder of the ovaries), and a milk allergy.
She is likely one of the first known people to be infected with COVID-19 in the United States, according to ScienceAlert.

Well good luck to anyone that works for, as a treatment it seems orders of magnitude short of the mark, but I hope it works for some folks.
I know someone with long covid currently. Her symptom seems mostly the loss of sense of taste, and anti-histamines are doing zip.
My experience included prolonged shortness of breath and the road to recovery for me started with the vaccine.
The sore throat that comes with Omicron is a killer. At least to me. It just won’t go away.
Took the OTC FlowFlex rapid antigen test 23 days ago - tested negative. That night I 1st presented symptoms - slight cough progressed to general malaise the next day, then 2 nights of night sweats. Seemed recovered after that, but then I lost my sense of taste a week later - still haven’t regained all of it. Tested for the 6th time today - finally got a negative result. Non-vaxxed & have been taking vC,vD, querctin, Zn, 81 mg aspirin, and a cup of kefir since late summer 2021.
I had a prolonged bout of shortness of breath but never got the vax and it resolved on its own.
It could have just been timing and would have happened anyways.
Sore throat tea works for awhile. They are usually a lemon echinacea. Try saline nasal lavage and povidine wipe in nostril. Keep the Vit C high.
If you can drop the aspirin, do it, and use tylenol generic.
Vazalore is a new form of of aspirin that will not cause stomach bleeding. $23/30
Thank you! The tea is easy, hope I can get the other stuff over the counter…
When I had the cron the most effective drug I had was Nyquil (and Dayquil). It stopped the coughing.
They have lavage kits where you add a a saline packet to a dispenser. Ask a druggist how it works or do a quick online search. I found the saline worked better but both are cheap and available.
Maybe the first generation of antihistamines work...like benadryl.
My brother still has his sore throat....but he’ll never admit he had Omicron...he got the shots!
Actually if the throat is scratchy and raw just get a bag of Butterscotch discs.....a Dr. told me these work better than anything because they coat the threat.....most other lozenges have menthol etc. which ‘dries’ the passages, therefore an irritant.
I’ve used them ever sense.
It’s a two part therapy. The teas or lozenges treat the symptom, the saline treats the virus or bacterial infection.
Hydroxyzine.
Hydroxyzine.
I take benadryl nightly for chronic insomnia. When I had covid, I did had lingering fatigue and weakness, but I had those issues preinfection. I’m now back at baseline, not that baseline was so hot to begin with
