I didn’t take paxlovid or any other medication except
for my vitamins and my symptoms went away after about
3 days, same for many others I know who got the omicron
variant. The one lingering effect was a mild dry cough,
did experience some mild congestion which affected my
taste buds for about 2-3 days. If you have a sore throat,
take motrin with food, that will bring down the inflammation.
My Wife had it too and that’s what she did. We are both pretty OK now.
