Covid

Husband has Covid but I'm negative so far what should I do? He's hibernating in the basement. Do I just contact my oncologist tomorrow or do I need to now I'm currently going thru chemo.

I got Covid the day before Thanksgiving, however, nobody else got it. My doctor put me on the Paxlovid immediately. I hope you don’t get it because honest to God it was the worst antibiotic I’ve ever had to take. I didn’t know if the effects were from Covid or me taking that antibiotic. I would just test daily to see if you are positive but definitely let your oncologist or PCP know what’s going on, they definitely wanted me in it within 5 days of contracting COVID. Good luck, I hope you dodge it!❤️

Two years ago, my husband had covid, but very mild since we both had been vaccinated. I stayed away from him as best I could but tested myself every day.. After 3 days, I was positive too. My only symptom was a mild scratchy throat. I was two years post transplant at this time but still on anti- rejection medication. I called my oncologist, and he put me on paxlovid. I was negative and sore throat free.after 5 days. You might want to call your oncologist and see if he wants to prescribe the paxlovid just in case you turn positive and then can take it.
