F in the chat comrade. Get lots of rest. Do not exercise. Sleep as much you can.

You’ll want to fact check this but IIRC zinc tablets can help but don’t eat them on an empty stomach or you’ll violently puke.

Anti virals are very helpful, but it depends on your location and insurance. Can you ask a doctor or check a local website on how easy it is to get paxlovid or molnupiravir? Or have a relative do it as you should be resting.

I’m sorry you got it. No one deserves to get sick. I understand the fear of getting long COVID.

As the other commenters mentioned, sleep and fluids are arguably the most important things you need. In my opinion, it’s not the only thing you should be doing though. But it would be ideal if you are able to isolate and rest for the duration of your symptoms. Get comfortable, and take whatever common OTC medicines you need to alleviate symptoms, like Tylenol and decongestants and the like. Keep pushing fluids, don’t forget electrolytes every once in a while, and a multivitamin if it’s difficult to get enough nutritious food.

Anti-virals like Paxlovid are next in importance, in my opinion. There’s tons of literature out there about their effectiveness preventing long COVID. Of course not everyone can get it. Do whatever you can to reduce the viral load. This includes good hygiene, masking, air purifiers, nasal irrigation, and antiseptic mouthwash.

A cursory glance at RedFanon’s comment has a lot of recommended medications that are all linked to long COVID prevention. I’d be hesitant to take all of these without consulting a physician you trust.

I do want to highlight medicines like Fexofenadine. Antihistamines are commonly OTC and have, again, lot of studies linking them to long COVID prevention. And since there are so many types of antihistamines, you can usually take more than one without drug interactions.
