OK, I think we may have our first + person in my house now, too. My 16 year old is congested and has a headache. Different than her normal allergy type symptoms. Multiple friends have tested positive over the weekend. I can't find a test anywhere though. I'm going to assume she's + at this point.

Question: What are the best OTC vitamins/supplements? I'm not talking anything whacky like Ivermectin (take any snark about this to the politics thread, plz). I am talking just normal immune boosting stuff. Vitamin C and D, I assume. Anything else? And we're doing Tylenol for the headache. Anything else?

Vitamin D
Vitamin C
Zinc
Quercetin (helps bioavailability of zinc)
NAC
NAD+

And honestly, I would lay off the Tylenol for the fever unless the fever gets really high 102+) as a fever is the body combating the illness.

Thanks AD. Yeah, staying safe.

Thought the household had a run in w/ COVID after a small Christmas w/ the immediate family, but after tests from numerous people (which all came back negative) it ended up being the actual flu (yes, it still exists!!). Which btw, is apparently pretty nasty this year.
