I'm really worried because my husband tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. He went into home quarantine right away and also had a CT scan done of his chest. Right now, he only has a cough and some congestion. There's no fever or trouble breathing so far. Is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for to make sure he's handling it okay?

I've been feeling really cold and shivery, with no energy at all. I had a slight fever with dizziness starting around 2am yesterday. I'm also dealing with diarrhoea, and I tried taking Digene a couple of times, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please give me some advice on how to feel better?

digene is a antacid and it doesn't help much in loose stools.
