If you plan to seek medical care to lessen symptoms, I suggest you contact a physician very soon after the first sign of symptoms rather than waiting. I received and took Paxlovid to lessen symptoms and reduce the risk of serious effects of covid. I believe it is generally prescribed only if started within five days of onset of covid.

In my case, I self tested positive at home and had a prompt televisit with the physician (not the Villages healthcare system). Then he prescribed Paxlovid.
