Millions of other vaccinated Americans have had to deal with "mild COVID" -- not sick enough to require hospital-level treatment, but not asymptomatic.
As cases climb in the U.S., focus remains on the sickest and the nation's overstretched hospitals and health care workers, but many others are suffering at home and discovering mild COVID to be a major disruptor.
For those home with COVID-19 or those caring for loved ones at home, Dr. Jay Bhatt of Family Christian Health Center in Chicago recommends plenty of rest, fluids and over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.
"The majority of the treatment of mild to moderate COVID is aimed at relieving symptoms," added Bhatt, an internist and geriatrician. For some people, he added, other measures that help include lying on your stomach instead of your back to improve oxygen flow while resting, taking zinc to limit replication of the virus and getting vitamin C to boost one's immune system.
