My 84 y/o Mom just tested positive (with a home test). She lives with my sis and b-i-l so they will do what they can for her. Sis reached out to Mom's PCP and will ask about monoclonal antibodies. Sis will also reach out to Dr Mollie James to hopefully get the GOOD stuff (IVM, HCQ, etc).
Mom can be very stubborn but is a pure blood.
Your prayers would be welcome and very much appreciated. She seems fine, so I hope it is a mild case.
God Bless you all.
consider iodine nasal cleanse
Thank you. As I said, Mom is stubborn, and she doesn't like anything up her nose!!!! I don't think I could talk her into doing a nasal wash of any kind but I will keep that in mind. I tend to like Alkalol nasal rinse (it has natural ingredients) and talked other about it a while ago. Back than the answer was an adamant NO. She is stuborn!
and of course she is in my prayers. Stubborn is a very good trait to have. I lost my 98 yr old grandmother last year ( very stubborn bless her heart) do to a car accident. I am sure she messed up actuarial numbers.
Thank you. God Bless your grandmother for living such a long life.
Rinses are a little more intrusive, but maybe she would be open to at leas swabbing her nostrils.
Add a couple drops of iodine to a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. Dip a Q-tip into the solution and swab the nostrils.
You can do that a few times per day and it's very easy and non-invasive.
While you're at it, swab your ear canal as well.
Thank you for the advice.
Iodine is also recommended via nebulizing, which is a lot easier.
Thank you. That is what my sis and b-i-l used when they were sick in Oct 2020. Hopefully sis can get Mom to use it.
Seconded.
