Low grade fevers of 100 or less aren't unheard of with bad colds.

This is my third week of suffering. On Saturday afternoon, my temperature returned to normal for maybe 5 hours, but then spiked again. I am having trouble eating due to everything tasting terrible and I am also nauseated. The doctor doesn’t sound very encouraging at this point.
I am at a loss as to what to do.

Not good and I feel sad for you! Has your doctor actually SEEN you or his advice all over the phone? Maybe there is something else besides covid going on with you. Me thinks you should get thine self in to see someone.

You can not do anything but wait to get better as far as I know. My son has a doc appointment in an hour.

this whole disease is just so new that I don’t think anyone has any real answers. Happy they put him on an antibiotic, that should help with part of it, hopefully. That is why I would like Old Man to actually see a doctor before it gets so bad that all they CAN do is put him on a ventilator!!!! I was going to suggest to him also to try pedialyte instead of, or in addition to, water. The electrolytes might help. Sure don’t think they can hurt any

Old Man, PLEASE actually see a doctor!!!! I also think maybe try pedialyte in addition to other liquids. The electrolytes might be beneficial

Thanks. Thanks to everyone for their concern and support. He is on the antibiotics now and hopefully this will aide in his recovery. He refuses to be in our house until we get the vaccine. It has really raised his awareness of this disease, and he is even more worried about us.
It’s sad for all who are suffering wit this horrible virus I hope any of our members and their family’s who are ill are on the mend real soon.
I really don’t understand why infected areas haven’t been shut down ? ( as the whole of Australia was to get on top of the virus )
I’ve never traveled to any country outside of Aust to have knowledge of other countries ,
as well as we
see / hear so much conflicting news here

He still does not feel well. I am hoping the antibiotics help and am so glad he followed my advice for once and saw the doctor in person.

My son is feeling much better and is now seeing his girlfriend who he missed terribly. Actually when he first got the news he had COVID-19 he said “I am really going to miss my girlfriend’s cooking this weekend.”
. The antibiotic really helped, glad he listened to me for once.
I asked him if they were taking advantage of being immune to the virus for a short period of time a d going out to eat in restaurants. Yup, they are. This is how they got the virus in the first place.
But they are safe for a month at least.
I got the news today, I tested negative for COVID-19. Had to get the test for my endoscopy tomorrow. They were feeling so guilty that they might have exposed me on Thanksgiving, although I was sure they caught it after. This proves they did, and he/they are so relived that I don’t have it.
They brought us Sees candy yesterday for our Christmas present. Masked up and socially distance and refusing to come close or enter the house in case the virus was on their clothes and catchable to us. Until we get the vaccine this is how it will be, they announced.
. His girlfriend stood in line for three hours at See’s candy to get our boxes. I wish she had not. She is such a dear woman. I love her.
Well, good news all around for us. Thanks everyone for all your concern, prayers, and love, it all worked, and they are nearly recovered.
