Woke up this morning with a sore throat and feeling a bit achy. A cold has been going around among my friends and I may have picked it up. I have Ivermectin and I'm wondering if starting it now will help?

Try it. Late October and early November I came down with something that I think was RSV. A church member said he had it too. It felt sort of like Covid and somewhat like the flu. Ivermectin didn't help as my chest and he said his chest were congested. I went from Ivermectin to Niquil tp finally Mucus Relief or some type of mucus medicine. Finally got it up and got better.
Now as of yesterday, I too have a cold or something. Runny nose, sore throat and lots of sneezing. Took Ivermectin today and yesterday. Took a Theraflu cup of hot liquid last night. Praying to get better.
Do what you have to do to try and stop it. Everyone is sick around here too. Had 3 grandkids sick with the 'crud' (that's what I call it) in the past 3 days. I think they gave it to me. Hope you get to feeling better.
Thanks. I don't have children or grandchildren and often refer to younguns as "petri dishes." The wifely unit suggested I start off by gargling warm salt water and upping my C and zinc doses for the next day or so, rather than start on Ivermenctin. She's good about such stuff so I'll follow that today and tomorrow, but if I don't start getting better, I will dip into my IVM stash.
I mix a lil baking soda with my warm salt water.....seems to help
I hear you. Never let 'Momma' down. You must listen to her. My husband calls me "momma" a lot of times cause he knows I have experience in such things. Hope you get to feeling better and don't start sneezing your head off like I am.
Thanks. I call my wife "Nurse Ratchet" after the character in "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest." She nursed me through cancer a few years back and she was very strict about meds and such. This was WAY before the world knew about IVM, so she's sort of a walking encyclopedia of medical knowledge.
You're very blessed for having her. She sounds like a fine lady who loves you very much. God bless you both.
