Thank you fren. I pray your aunt gets better. I was pretty sick myself about 5 months ago. Finally broke the fever on about day 5. I didn't get any of the respiratory stuff though. It was trying to get a foothold, but it never was able. I pounded the hell out of my supplements. I did have to start with some amox on day 7 because I seemed to be developing a secondary upper respiratory infection. The course of azithromycin did not seem to have an effect so I switched to amox. It did the trick.

I increased Vitamin D to 50K IU a day. When you are sick or challenged in anyway, Vit D levels can decrease by 50 percent in less than 24 hours. So, if a person is already deficient they will be knocked into the basement. Those that have levels of 30 to 40 ng/ml to begin with will have those levels decrease to 15 to 20 ng/dl. That is deficient. Low D is associated with poorer outcomes.

Do not give steroids until you are sure the acute infective stage is over. That would be about day 8. Usually what happens is a person starts to feel better and then on day 8 it turns - they cannot breath. That is the hypersensitivity cascade kicking in. That is when combination antihistamine and steroid therapy is probably indicated. If you think the respiratory symptoms are getting worse, antibiotics may help. But, it sounds like your aunt is got a good chance here. She is lucky to have you. See if you have a provider in your area that can administer IV supplemental therapies if you think she needs a good boost. There is all kinds of things they can administer to help her immune system - as long as it is not specifically for the Rona. ; )

God bless fren.
