Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi, my dads tested positive for covid, hes been feeling rough since monday with headache and earache, but hes also been very very tired with no appetite. he can barely eat anything though hes managing to take a vitamin despite an extra strong gag reflex right now, and hes so tired all day, hes just sleeping and sleeping and sleeping, and when he wakes up he just goes back to sleep because hes so tired. its been 6 days and hes worried, and i am too. he sounds very weak when he speaks as well and hes really cold rather than hot.

I am sorry to hear that. Is your dad drinking fluids especially water? It’s important that he not become dehydrated. has anyone been in contact with his doctor to give an update?fever? Cough?

Hi Rhiannon,
so first of the cold spells are from a fever, make sure your dad isn't adding to many layers, although he is feeling very cold he may actually be running a fever, be sure to give him Ibuprofen to reduce the fever and make your father a little more comfortable.
secondly from having and experiencing very similar symptoms as your dad, drinking cold drinks aren't good, it was hitting the pit of my tummy and giving me gut ache which resulted in me becoming extreamily dehydrated, if your dad likes tea or coffee make sure he is drinking them and getting enough fluids this will perk him up a little as i am certain the dehydration was a big part to play in my symptoms.
food, although the appeal for food is non existent try to get your father to eat, give the body some energy to fight the virus.
I hope your father gets better soon, its really not nice to experience believe me.
Best Wishes,
Dan.

Hi Does your dad take any Cholesterol drug . This just might be thinking aloud , but i think it effects the Folate plus B12 . this virus .

Hi April, sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Im glad you made it through covid, I was sick pretty bad for 3 weeks could hardly get out of bed but I wasnt hospitalized. If you dont mind me asking, how bad was covid for you and what were your symptoms?

Hi April, take Zofran. I took it when I had Covid and my appetitie came back quick. I only took it once. Afterwards, I began to recover.

Hi April, look into Zofran. I recovered from Covid after taking the pill once. I was in bad shape with Covid for almost 2 weeks. After calling urgent care and requesting something to get me to eat, the doctor prescribed Zofran and it worked immediately. We need food and water for energy.

Hi, I am so sorry about your dad. My dad just passed away last week from Covid, he had the same symptoms as your dad along with my brother and mother. I told them to request Zofran from their doctor because I had Covid in December and was feeling the same way. I called urgent care to give me something from feeling nausouse so that I can eat. The doctor prescribed me Zofran. After the first pill my appetite came back and I was eating. Afterwards, I started to feel better. I did not need the pill anymore. We need food and water for energy that is why he is weak. I had my niece call urgent care to get my parents and brother Zofran, but the doctor prescribed antibiotics and Vitamin C. My brother is in the Hospital right now with pneumonia. My mother did have pneumonia but the antibiotics that were prescribed by urgent care saved her from going to emergency because we did not know she had pneumonia. My nephew is 6 years old and he is in the Hospital with MISC from Covid. He was sleeping a lot, feeling weak and vomiting. The doctors prescribed him Zofran along with antibiotics. Now, he is up and eating. My brother is eating and feeling better. I asked him did his doctor give him Zofran, he does not know, but they are giving him antibiotics. We lost my dad because we waited too long. DO NOT WAIT!! Zofran really works! I am praying for you and your family!
