So far the symptoms are mild I guess. I have a headache, sinus pressure, an occasional dry cough, and some fatigue. I don’t have any chronic conditions but I am overweight so I am thinking about asking for Paxlovid.

Hopefully this is a mild course. Hope everyone feels better.
For me, day 2-3 were worst with fever. I also got paxlovid because of my bmi and started it on day 3. By the end of that day all trace of a cough were gone, so I think it helped. My husband started the meds on his day 1 and still got the the two days of fever. But I think it keeps it from progressing.
