Yes, don’t take paxlovid in empty stomach and keep taking it if your dr agrees. It’s the only thing to reduce severity of symptoms that works and can still hold up against all variants.
My stomach settled down afterwards, so yes taste is bad but a few tips I wish I had thought about:

— drink lots of fluids
—eat food before taking each dose; not just a bite of something but real food
—take probiotics as it’s an antiviral and you can get yeast infection or skin fungal infection if you aren’t doing some sort of probiotic. I wish I hadn’t stopped my probiotics while dealing with Covid.
—consider low histamine foods to help reduce inflammation in gut. Avoid dairy and gluten, if possible.

Big wishes for speedy recovery. Talk with your dr and here’s to strong healing. 🥰
