My fiancé is pregnant and just yesterday developed symptoms that seem a lot like Covid. Bad cough, A little hard to breathe, just general ill feeling. She has an appointment on Tuesday for her pregnancy check up and they are going to turn her away if she has Covid-like symptoms. I remember reading on here at some point that there are things you can take at home to help out a lot. I know the standard ones, vitamin C and zinc. But is there anything else she can do to help speed it along a little bit?

She’s pregnant so be careful with stuff.

There was just an news article on poal about high dose vitamin D helping patients but the doctors wouldn’t give the dose and said “it’s dangerous”. Not if used for a short period of time, they’re so fucking pompous.

This is from a doctor when H1N1 was big(the link is dead but I saved the treatment). You can find the pills on Amazon.

Stock your home's pharmacy with several fresh bottles of 50,000 IU capsules of Vitamin D3 (a medicine at this dosage, not a supplement) and if you get this flu, take 2,000 IU per kg of body weight per day for a week. As I weigh 120 pounds, I would take 100,000 to 150,000IU per day for seven days if I thought I had an infection with a 1918-like influenza virus.

Here’s this study:

The Study of Quadruple Therapy Zinc, Quercetin, Bromelain and Vitamin C on the Clinical Outcomes of Patients Infected With COVID-19.

Not all quercetin is the same. Look for the Thorne brand that says “Phytosome”

You also need a minimum of 30mg of elemental zinc, they’re going to list zinc mg overall but find the elemental part of the label. Not all zinc is created equal. I take 60mg’s to get 10mg’s of elemental or three pills for 30mg. Bromelain shouldn’t be over 1,000mg a day according to some studies others say it’s safe up to 4,000.

I can’t find anything recent on Pepcid but the doctor, his sister and coworkers all took 9 pills and recovered quickly, fever broke etc. I don’t know if it’s 9 pills every 8 hours or just once a day.

He was in China and went through the data when he got home, the richer people were more likely to die and the poorer people more to live. The only difference he could find was the richer people took Prilosec and the poorer people took Pepcid.

You can also use Pepcid for allergic reactions along with Benadryl as long as you don’t need an Epi-pen.

Really good info, thanks. Going to get some supplements for her and try it out. But yeah, I’ll do some research to make sure it’s all safe for pregnancy

All that should be safe at the recommended doses for her and the baby.
