Can you tell me your age? And if you take any medication regularly?
please give me a moment
Dear customer, it is a pleasure to attend to you today; I want to tell you that everything you tell me about being positive in a test for covid is obviously due to a viral pharyngotonsillitis and, like all viral pharyngotonsillitis, should be treated only and exclusively with symptomatic treatment such as paracetamol in 1 gram tablets one tablet every 8 hours for 3 to 5 days depending on the evolution, Sometimes antiseptic and analgesic candies can be useful leaving dilute the candy in the oral cavity every 6 hours, in the same way, it is important to maintain abundant hydration with at least 4 liters of water per day which will help to maintain an adequate distribution of fluids at the body level, today it has been proven a high affinity in vitamin supplements based on vitamin C effervescent tablets one tablet daily for a month which will help to strengthen the immune system in this situation. With these therapeutic recommendations, the situation should improve, bearing in mind, of course, that this situation should not be treated under any circumstances with antibiotic treatment since multiple clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of antibiotics in this type of situation, generating an increase in the degree of antibiotic resistance with a future requirement for more costly antibiotic treatments and with more significant adverse reactions.
