His wife tested negative. He gets sinus infections a lot of the time, and everything is mixed up. He's been coughing a little and dripping mucus a little bit. He went to his internist and his internist checked his lungs and they are all clear, all is good. He had fever of 99.9 at the highest because he is usually 97 or 96. He took a COVID test. His wife got the same vaccines as him on the same days. They never had antibodies or anything and tested a few times. His wife would be the same Lot number. NDC and Expiry not listed on his card. Caller works in hospital and sells hospital systems. He tested for COVID and it was sent to a lab, because it is more accurate than a home test. His doctor called yesterday morning and said he was positive for COVID. He probably had it from Sunday night when he wasn't feeling great. His doctor said he is probably having a mild case because of the vaccine. He doesn't know if his wife had it because her home test was negative. His question is, he probably has a mild case and has peaked already. His headache and fever are gone. His voice is getting better already. He picked up the Paxlovid from the doctor's office. He read through it and checked to make sure he wasn't taking any medications. On the third page, it mentions side effects and there is altered sense of taste. He took Paxlovid twice yesterday, at 11:00 and 8:00. He hasn't taken it yet today. After he took it yesterday, he had an altered sense of taste like metallic in his mouth. His mouth has a metallic feeling. Is anyone else? Is that what that meant? There is a holiday Sunday and Monday. Is this something that is temporary? This is his only side effect. He's going to eat the food. He can taste, but it leaves a weird metallic feeling. His wife is not so big on him taking Paxlovid because his case is not so bad. He wanted to know if this is a normal thing, have you heard of what he's mentioning. He took one of the 5 days so far and yesterday started the metallic taste.
