I just want to share my experience with COVID rebound (and just for reference I'm a 64 yr old male in otherwise good health) . After my initial positive covid home test I contacted my dr and was prescribed paxlovid all was well at first and I started getting better within a couple of days and tested negative about the third day of taking it. I continued to feel better until a few days after finishing the 5th day of paxlovid. Then I started feeling ill again with even worse symptoms including a mild fever for several days and sinus infection symptoms. I am right now at almost 3 weeks from my first onset of COVID and close to one week into the rebound and still COVID positive. So if I were to do it over I would probably NOT take paxlovid and maybe my immune system would have killed it the first time and I may not have had to go through it again. So just wondering if anyone else has gone through this and how long did it take to fully recover ?
