I've gotten it twice now, despite being fully vaxxed/boosted, cuz I work in a hospital in the middle of Redneckistan, and a vaccine can only do so much against the plume of concentrated idiot I work in... Anyway, my symptoms weren't the usual MO- 99% was just nonstop sneezing. Like, both nostrils bleeding, feel like I got punched in the face cuz my sinuses were so torn up, but still sneezing. Wasn't a great time.
Tried a few antihistamines and some acetaminophen and none of that touched it. Otherwise just lots of rest.
I recall the long covid symptoms having a correlation with people who try to just "push through" the symptoms and do normal activity despite needing rest, so... don't do that. Legit just chill until you feel better.
Oh, you better fucking believe I'm resting. As much as I humanly can. I've spent just about the entire day in my bedroom, switching between bed (when I can breathe through the mucus) and supremely comfy chair (when I can't). There will be no "push" in this house.
When I had it, my only symptoms were in my nose, too. Not nearly as bad as you, but I constantly felt like I had a bunch of water up my nose... The same feeling you get when you swim on your back underwater. It was a really weird sensation.
