I am getting a little nervous - HCW with COVID19 exposure - sent home Friday because I developed a very mild cough with chest irritation. I felt basically fine until this afternoon... but starting to feel a little achy and maybe feverish... I feel like something is off.
I am trying not to freak out, but I am definitely on edge.
Prayers Pede, get some tonic water and zinc medications (zicam is one I think)? Also heavy doses of vit c. Remember for the vast majority of people it is very mild.
can you overdose on Zinc? I think I've already had three lozenges today... ok, this is it - I gotta get off the computer. I am officially freaking out.
but thanks to everyone for your well wishes and good advice - it's nice to know that people care.
Yes you can (doesn't kill you, but can mess with your body's immune function over the long haul). 3 lozenges is probably good for today. :) According to one source milk can help bind the excess zinc if you're worried about it.
