This is super personal and not the place for this but I honestly have no idea where to go for help here. My husband and I are both sick. He tested positive for covid because his company required him to take a test.
Here's my dilemma:
- I just finished an antibiotic for an infected tooth and need to get a root canal but rescheduled because my husband was sick and didn't want to risk making anybody else sick.
- We were both taking quercetin, c, d3 and zinc so how in the hell did we get this unless it is true that there is no cure for the common cold or flu? So now, out of an abundance of caution we are taking the India pack of ivermectin, zinc & doxycycline.
- In addition I am also being treated with ciproflaxacin for a kidney infection and the online docs who are treating me are suggesting that if I'm still having issues that I seek medical care for IV antibiotics as this could turn into c-diff. The idea of going near a hospital literally has me reaching for xanax especially if I have the kung-flu on top of everything else.
- I take a pretty strong probiotic regularly so I'm not too worried about the antibiotics.
Symptoms of kidney infection are easing so my gut is saying to ride it out a little while longer.
Does anybody know of any type of home health care that I can get near the Pittsburgh, PA area for testing and IV antibiotics or should I ride this out and pray for the best?
How old are you and your husband?
57 and 60 respectively. This really feels like a bad flu and because we rarely get anything like this I'm pretty sure that it just has to run its course. We both have low grade fevers. I'm more frustrated by the fact that everything that we regularly take to keep our immune systems strong didn't hold a candle to this which also seems to be par for the course with colds and flus.
