WHAT PAINKILLERS to take while you have Covid?

Can someone take what a diabetic is allowed to take while having covid?

what painkillers, what pills, what medications to reduce temperature

The answer to this question seems to be a mystery, there is lots of contradicting online contradictions, medicine companies tell you to contact the doctors, most of doctors never read leaflets, tell you to contact info line, infoline does not tell you anything and tell you to ask doctors etc


please share your experience and advice thanks

I cannot offer any first hand advice, I have not had the china virus. You are certainly right about conflicting advice. It seems most medical organizations are not offering much help as they say one thing and then shortly thereafter say just the opposite, i.e. WHO (world health organization) initially proclaiming don't take ibuprofen, and then turning around and saying its OK. I don't think they know enough about this particular strain of coronaviruses to know anything for sure.

Just my opinion, if you have a something that works and you are comfortable taking, then take it, but don't overdo it. Most everything is bad for your kidneys or your liver if abused. I would look to see if something natural if available. In your favorite search engine, enter "natural pain and fever reducers"

My consensus (based on what I was able to read before and after getting the coronavirus vaccine and noting that I'm not a doctor and did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night) was that it was best to avoid any painkillers just before and after getting the shot (or shots). Something to do with possibly reducing how efficient the dose would be. Though I did not read specifically about aspirin or naproxyn sodium (Aleve and other brands), avoiding painkillers seemed to be the recommendation for what I read. So I avoided them. My pain levels I had were low enough I could go without anything for a day or so.

I asked the nurse who administered my second shot if aspirin was okay because I hadn't seen it named specifically; she seemed surprised people still took aspirin. Shortly after that visit I was in a CVS drugstore at which there was very little plain ol' aspirin compared to everything else, so maybe she was right. We're living through history right now and learning a lot as we go along. As someone with a minor in a scientific field, I understand that sometimes what we thought right away is not what's borne out when we look further. The joy we have in living through history...

My clinic has one doctor who keeps up on all the COVID info and then updates the rest of the practitioners on the current guidelines. Give your doc's office a call for guidance.
