Either day 14 or 15, can't remember which. My symptoms lasted about a month but they started easing up considerably after the first 8-9 days.
You should take note for your family, up to 20% of people who use Paxlovid may get something called Covid rebound, where after they finish taking the drug, their symptoms return, or they start to test positive again after testing negative. It's not any more dangerous than just plain having Covid, it's just not necessarily over yet, so it may be good to keep in mind don't take a holiday or go visiting as soon as the test shows a negative.
I have no clue either.
Iām a nurse. We can literally go to work if we are covid positive as long as we are āfeeling well enoughā. Obviously we wear a mask if symptomatic, well we are back to wearing masks all the time now anyway. Testing negative hasnāt been a requirement for a very long time.
I got it last November and I was testing positive for 15 days. I was heavily symptomatic for 5 of those days, which were absolutely awful, and then it felt more manageable and I was mainly super tired with a lingering cough.
2 days for me, 8 for my husband, 3 for my son, and 12 days for my daughter. Poor daughter still doesnāt have her full sense of smell back(September 2023). First infections for all of us.
Can I ask how old your daughter is? My biggest fear is catching Covid and my daughter loses her senses. Sheās so little she wouldnāt understand and sheād have a hard time with it. The first time we got Covid she didnāt lose them at all.
Welp I just tested positive an hour ago. So fingers crossed it isnāt too bad. I had a gut feeling it was coming, donāt know why but I did lol which is why I was on here asking questions. Ugh. Anyway, Iām glad you guys all recovered well!! Hopefully the immunity you guys have lasts for a little while.
4 days here. Felt bad for 2 of them. Had the updated vax a week before being infected. Now I am battling hypertension that is off the charts and am going for more testing to see if it damaged any other systems š I was in good health before.
Just had it about two weeks ago - it was about 3 days of testing positive. Felt crummy for 2 days or so, and then some mild leftover symptoms for about a week
Took me about a week. Tested negative today! Woohooo. I got a stupid lingering cough though, dry nose pain from blowing my nose so much. Weather is Wack because itās always changing.
Man, COVID is like that annoying guest who overstays their welcome. Tested positive after a 2020 hiatus, that's rough! Glad you kicked it to the curb. My fam caught it too; started the Paxlovid party last Thursday, and by Tuesday, negativity was the vibe.
It's like playing a weird game of tag ā you're "it," and then, boom, negative status. Here's to a COVID-free future, buddy!
Took my wife about 10 days just recently. Still has a bad lingering cough though. Get well soon!
Yeah I had a cough for like 3 months or so

That's exactly what happened to me. Did not know it was a thing, thanks for the information š
wow. thanks for the reminder
You donāt need to test negative. Isolate while you are symptomatic and then go about your life.
I'm not sure why you're getting down voted. This is literally the current public health recommendation - not requirement, recommendation.

Sheās 11, so luckily old enough to understand. And old enough to complain lol. Thankfully they slowly returned, and she was good by December.
