Hi @gdcm, I thought you might appreciate this information from the CDC about:
- COVID-19 Rebound After Paxlovid Treatment https://emergency.cdc.gov/han/2022/pdf/CDC_HAN_467.pdf
Thank goodness that the Paxlovid reduced your initial symptoms and kept you from serious illness and possible hospitalization. According to the CDC, rebound infection is usual mild, but it does mean that you can transmit the infection to others and should follow precautions.
I, too, hope that your sense of smell and taste resolve quickly. Are you experiencing any other side effects? How are you feeling today?
