Pretty sure I have The Vid

Fever of 101
Pounding headache
Vertigo
Cough
Hot dry throat

And I can’t isolate from my children and my husband is no longer sick (he was last week) so he went back to work. It’s frustrating bc he got to rest while going through it, I have to stay up and moving because littles don’t understand that mommy is sick.

I truly want to cry

It sounds like your sinuses are packed up. That causes vertigo, headache, and post nasal drip, which in turn causes the cough. Try taking Dayquil during the day, and Nyquil at night. I have the same symptoms, and these meds actually do help a lot.

Omicron does collect in the sinuses and the mouth, and in the upper esophagus. It usually doesn't go down into the lungs.

One thing you can do, which I heard on television, is to gargle frequently with alcohol containing antibacterial mouthwash. It's supposed to kill the virus living in your mouth if you have Omicron.

Also, try using a neti pot with saline solution inside. If you don't have one, you can stand over the sink and try to snort homemade salt water up your nose from a bowl...and then let it all drain out again.
