HOW TO: TREAT COVID SYMPTOMS (2022) | We got Covid VLOG

- čas přidán 29. 01. 2022
- Hi everyone. It happened. We all finally got COVID. Luckily both Stan and I are vaccinated and boosted so our symptoms were mild. These are some of the times we did to treat our symptoms at home.
If only one of us were sick then we would have that one person isolate in their room. If it was just the parent who were sick, then we would have worn our mask the whole time around the kids.
Please remember that I am unable to give out personal medical recommendations online/social media. Unless you are my patient - and even then! Please contact me/your doctor through your clinic.

Oh no I’m so sorry 🥺. I hope you guys continue to heal and get better ❤️🩹
Thank you!! Praying Stan doesn’t have long COVID symptoms but so far his sense of taste os getting better everyday.
Thanks for sharing! I'm a family med physician as well and just got COVID for the first time last week after avoiding it this whole pandemic! Glad your family is safe and hopefully getting better :)
Same! The inbox/MyChart messages have been rough.
Sorry to hear you and your family had to go through this!! I hope that you are all doing better and that there are no long Covid symptoms that follow!
Thank you 😭 luckily Stan and I were both vaccinated and boosted. Stan said his symptoms are improving! So that’s reassuring.
Oh gosh that cut of London crying on the floor while Stan closes the door on him hahaha wishing your family a fast recovery, Dr. Le! I, too, have managed to avoid getting sick during most of the pandemic but Omicron is no joke. Alike Stan, my symptoms were mild but definitely manageable and I hope they don’t get anymore severe than what you guys are experiencing. The fisherman’s friend menthol lozenges were a life saver for my incessant cough and I swear by it!
Thanks Mary! Oooo yes I feel like menthol numbs my throat and tongue. Freaked me out the first time I tried it 😅
Thank you for making this video. It was super helpful!
Yay! I’m so glad ❤️
Thank you 🙏. That was incredibly helpful .
Yay! I’m so glad
I have covid right now. Right after going through some really serious stuff. I mean in the middle of so many difficult things. It’s legit crazy, but leave it to someone like you to have a vid to save the day. So yeah, thankyou. And as usual your kids as much as they must be a crazy handful are so adorable and you are such a good mom.
I just saw this! Hope you’re feeling better!
@@drjennale I am actually. Mostly. Thanks. A few days there tho? Whoa man, I lost my ding dang mind. Dealing with the death of a dying abusive parent who had been out of my life for like 15 years if that doesn’t knock it up. Ever feel like you have bad luck? I know that’s way too personal, sorry. A lovely day to you and your fam.
I can see how conflicting these emotions are. And yes, sometimes a string of bad things happen. It really sucks in the moment. I try to see it as “my path” and what’s ment to be will be. I hope you feel better. In the body and in the heart.
Hope all go well for you guys.
We feel so lucky. Even the kids had mild disease. Wyatt still has a phelmy cough but he’s doing well.
Dr Le, I’m glad y’all doing fine - we all in house got it as well 😫thankfully it’s over ( me fully vaccinated had the worst - headaches, back pain , body aches horrible congested, lost almost 90% smell and some of taste) anyhow end up w/2000mg antibiotic due to sinus and ear infections- finally just starting feeling better - since we’r over it when will be safe to get buster or vaccinations?
Oh no! Glad you all are feeling better. Accounting to the CDC, as long as you are passed the acute illness phase - you can get vaccinated / boosted if it’s been 6 months since you completed the primary two doses. And as long as you haven’t had any steroids because it blunts the immune response.
Do you think there is a link between blood type and Covid? I am O+ and had the alpha Covid (March 2020) but was pretty much asymptomatic minus a low grade fever and didn’t know until my antibody test was performed a month after I possibly contracted it at a basketball game. Now my mom and brother have what I believe is omicron (both unvaccinated) and have been symptomatic for 2 weeks today. My mom is B+ and I’m not sure my brother’s type. I have a younger brother in the same household and we are both negative, he isn’t vaccinated but I am. Once they get better I plan to take them all to be vaccinated. Continued prayers for you and your family to get better. 🙏🏾
Hope you family has a speedy recovery. We haven’t seen any correlation with blood type yet. At least, haven’t seen any studies being done. There’s also so many different factors like medical history and Comorbidities that we can’t just say it’s down to blood type.
Is it just as effective to put the swab on the tip of the noise vs way in the back where it feels like your brain is being tickled?
It’s better to do it deeper because you get a better sample that way. A lot of the times, a false negative is due to not getting a good enough sample. I probably could have gone further in with Wyatt but I didn’t want to traumatize him. Apparently still have enough virus to get a positive test though 🥴
Yes, get better....I just finished up having covid...UGH! xx
Hope you’re feeling better Jeanie!
@@drjennale Thank you, Jenny...I got it on New Years Eve, and then my precious maltese died suddenly several days later. I had no idea he was so sick. I think I would have handled it better emotionally had I not been sick. But, we are pushing through. I watched a TON of videos. Take care my friend and I hope you guys stay healthy! xxoo
I am so sorry for your loss. Hope you fine to time and space to heal ❤️
My situation currently ,but somehow I’m the only one in the house whose contracted covid 🤧 I’m not sure how long a person can still test positive because I’ve tested positive Twice 2 & a half weeks apart and still have some symptoms 😩 Praying for a speedy recovery for you guys…Jenny you look amazing as always ❤️
Oh no! Hope you’re feeling better. You can actually test positive for a while. We’ve seen this in the hospital when people have more severe disease. We’ve also seen that omicron has a higher reinfection rate. Generally speaking, you can continue to test positive but should not be infectious past 10 days.
How did the kids do ? I am most worried about my 3 year old whom isn’t vaccinated. Hubby and I are boosted and filled vaxxed.
The kids were thankfully well. Both had mild symptoms. Wyatt just had the cough. London was a lot more cranky and some diarrhea. Both seem like they’re back to normal now.
And u look amazing ☺️
Thanks Annie! 🥰
My husband quarantined for 3 days before he got a negative test. My son didn't understand either! Hugs to you all
Hope he’s feeling better!
@@drjennale he was! Unfortunately we were all exposed by my nephew so we are quarantine together! Thank you!
Oh man! Glad you all were able to isolate together. It was so rough that first day with just me and the kids.
I was curious when you did your son's covid test on video, why did you not have the swab farther up his nostril? Also are you saying eventually both sons tested positive? Hope you all are on the mend!
These are nasal swabs and not nasal pharynx swabs. The tip is pretty long and went past his turbinates but ya - that’s how false negatives happen. Wyatt’s turned positive when I checked back a little later 🥴
@@drjennale oh my. I wonder how many people threw away their negative tests and they were actually positive 🥺
Oh I’m sure! I wouldn’t have known! Just left the test these because I was going to make videos with them for Instagram 😅
Oh no that isn't good and hope you all recovered from covid. Can you do a video on all the least covid updates. Hubby constantly exposed each week at the center he teaches young early ed students and rested negative. I question will covid go away and why treatment is haunted. Also why since start of pandemic those who truly got covid pneumonia went on a ventilator?
There are some medications not for COVID but it if very limited. For example University of Washington (major hospital) only has 100 doses Paxlovid. We just don’t have the supply right now. But we still believe that an oz of prevention is worth a pound of treatment, hence vaccines.
Some people with COVID pneumonia are still going on ventilators, requiring oxygen, etc. the majority of these people are unvaccinated. We saw this specifically with the delta variant because it replicated more in the lungs. Omicron more so in the upper airway but still many hospitalizations given how fast it’s being transmitted.
Does covid damage the cranial nerve one and that's why people lost their taste and smell?
Btw I saw someone that lost vision in one eye bcuz of covid. Is it possible? :O
The virus had deposit in the nerve and that’s why we suspect that happens with the headaches and changes in taste and smell. As for vision loss, COVID also significantly increases your risk of clot/stroke. So having a stoke in a part of the brain can cause vision loss!
I didn't know it was okay to use Flonase just for a non allergy illness, I tried it on my own after a bad lingering cold once and noticed it really helped and now if I get sick I start right away on it and normally it doesn't get bad. Now I don't feel as much of a drug abuser for doing that lol
Yup! It’s a nasal steroid so it helps decrease all the inflammation in the nasal passages!
@@drjennale I sometimes use nitquil and DayQuil for allergies
My kid caught covid from school two weeks ago; then I got covid; then I gave covid back to my kid.. it’s been ongoing for two weeks now.. this is so annoying.. how is it possible that we got covid twice in a row in a two weeks period??
