Has your pulmonologist said you should use it for COVID? Have you talked about using Paxlovid? I think you need to talk with your pulmonologist. I'd go to urgent care or the ER tomorrow if you can't get your pulmonologist on the phone. You need to take the Paxlovid in the first couple of days of developing the disease.

I keep the rescue pack at home. The doctors issued because they know it takes a week for a urgent appointment πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜’

Ok thanks. It’s quite difficult to speak to a doctor in the UK and if I go to the hospital A & E they won’t let me in with Covid.
