I am not a doctor, but I'm wondering if I had been given the Z-pack at the start if I would be where I'm at presently.


C3C7 might have an opinion to share on this topic.
You need to be in the hospital with IV antibiotic cocktails. The IV stuff is way more powerful and all they can do is throw a mix of antibiotics at it. They can also get a culture from your fleem and see if it grows to see what it really is. If it is Covid. They can give you specific meds and plasma for it.
