Anyone had Omicron feeling drowsy but no fever

I am getting over a rebound case of Covid after taking Paxlovid. I had 4 vaccinations. I tested positive for Covid on 12/18 and started taking Paxlovid on 12/19 finishing on 12/24. My symptoms were a very bad head cold… runny nose, ears and sinuses plugged up/ headache. The Paxlovid really helped. My pulmonologist told me not to be surprised, if on day 2 through 8 after finishing Paxlovid, the symptoms come back. It is called Paxlovid rebound. I started with my original symptoms Wednesday afternoon 12/28. So I have to quarantine because I am contagious for 5 to 7 days.
I had no cough and have felt sleepy only 1 or 2 days.
It is like getting it twice. No fun

I took it also. I felt like I had a sinus infection. Runny nose, sore throat, sneezing and headache. I felt ok on day 8 went on then on the next day BAM. I felt the worst symptoms! I called the doctor and told her I was concerned I had the flu that I felt so terrible She told me to go to ER. I had Covid rebound and I felt a lot worse! My throat was sore, no strep. I have been wearing a mask But earlier in Dec. at my mother's funeral I didn't.

Sorry to hear there was a rebound. That’s quite annoying. Does doctor recommend any other medicine to treat the rebound?
