hi

I’ve had coronavirus symptoms for 9 days now, my fever has never let up. If I take paracetamol and ibuprofen together the fever goes for a few hours and then returns just as bad as before. Is it normal to have a fever for so long?

I also have mild chest pain when I lay down coupled with a crackling sound when I exhale.

Should any of this be concerning me? For reference I’m female, 26 and in excellent health generally.

    No, I don't consider it normal to have fever for so long, you should consult a doctor immediately.

    lay on your stomach NOT your back. Vitamin C, D and zinc is your new best friend. lots of fluids and feel better soon.
