Generally speaking – when your body encounters a harmful substance, it responds to neutralize the threat. Vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, excess mucous, fevers and sweating are all pathways your body uses to rid itself of the substance.
General advice regarding fevers, coughs, runny noses, diarrhea, etc: These are the body’s ways of detoxifying and it’s best to not suppress them. If you do suppress them, then it seems to take longer to heal. The wise pediatrician, Dr Larry Palevsky, has some sound advice for kids that also translates nicely to adults: https://www.drpalevsky.com/child.html
It is NOT a good idea to use Tylenol, ibuprofen, antihistamines and other over the counter cold medicines to suppress your symptoms. Avoid them.
If you are sick now, I would be happy to see you to go over your symptoms, your medical history, allergies, medications, and give you recommendations for many over the counter remedies and treatments. I no longer prescribe ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine as I have discovered better and safer remedies. I am in the office most Mondays and Thursdays. Please call the office at 434-382-1825 and leave a message, and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
