If you have a Z-pac, you must have a doctor. Why are you asking a bunch of consultants?
OP I would advise you to seek mental health help as well. Sometimes anxiety can exacerbate or even create symptoms.
I think multiple people on this thread have chosen to show you the right path but let me try again. PLEASE SEEK MEDICAL OPINION FROM MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
For sure you should avoid panic. Panic is always bad.
oh. haven’t done this yet lol
Go get a test tomorrow
Yes, if you are over 85 and/or have serious health conditions.
Sounds like you may be pregnant
...
oh there is DEF none of that going on. trust me. Lol

Why do rapid test? Should have done the lab test, perhaps get one ASAP
Also rest and drink a lot of fluid.
I tested negative on the rapid test, then tested positive on the PCR test
I think the tests will be the biggest scandal out of all of this - so many false positives / negatives
Nothing to worry about. You have malaria.
Slightly concerned that you’re taking medical advice from consultants
How did you manage to get Antibiotics? And why antibiotics for a suspected viral attack ?
Yes, continue to do what you are doing. Monitor your oxygen levels.
Zinc can mess with your sense of taste so that might explain the metallic taste
yes this was a thought i had today. i don’t normally take zinc (and i also chew pills since i can’t swallow)
I tested negative on RT pcr on day two of catching infection. Symptoms started day three. So test may not be super accurate always, especially initially. Good luck!
thanks. to that point, i took rapid on day 2 of elevated temp
i’m definitely freaked the hell out at a minimum

You're definitely not in panic territory. If you're fever goes above 104 or you feel short of breath consistently (your pulse ox goes below 90). Then you can panic. I'd still recommend not panicking in that situation though...😉
Also, there are plenty of things that can give you a mild fever, body aches, mild fatigue. Not everything is covid.
two negative tests (pcr rapid and lab). thank god. but my body is definitely fighting something
You need friends. Why are you soliciting sympathy and advice on 🐠
wow. i have friends thanks. didn’t need to be so heartless.
Thanks for the antibiotic-resistant bacteria we’re all going to face thanks to you taking a Z-pack for having a warm day 🙄 😬
Relax, drink some magnesium to help with this and sleep. You’re going to be OK.
Rest and don't feel bad about it. Hope you feel better soon
thanks! a lot of rest, fluids, and vitamins. thanks so much guys ❤️❤️
