Our Members Asked:
How Should You Take Care of Yourself After You’ve Had COVID-19?

Answer:
What is the best way to care for yourself when recovering from COVID-19? After infection, there are many things to consider, including how long you should isolate; whether you should get vaccinated (particularly if you have long COVID); when is it safe to undergo a surgery; how to spot and, possibly, improve lingering "long COVID" symptoms (such as fatigue, loss of smell, difficult concentrating, headache); and whether or not supplements can help.
Even if you have only been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should know about self-quarantining.
