I hope you feel better soon! If you’d like advice from a random internet stranger, be sure to rest way more than you think you need to for a few weeks. Some studies have found an association between long COVID and exertion while sick.
thank you kind internet stranger. i've been taking it easy and resting a bunch.
do you by chance have any articles or studies you could link that you've ran across. I tried with google but there's a lot of articles out there that promote exercise. I was told "not to rest too much" by a relative who heard it from a friend who is an anesthesiologist but I didn't follow that advice and instead rested as much as possible. My relative who refused to rest is 3 weeks out from their illness and are still has chest congestion and fatigue so it feels like important information to get to them.
Here’s a Time article: https://time.com/6215346/covid-19-rest-helps/
I hope you can convince your relative to slow down and rest!
