Guise, my 55 y/o husband-anon was coughing and congested about 11 days ago (no fever) and went to urgent care. Not so unusual for him as he is prone to upper respiratory infections and seems to get one or two every year. Urgent care doc told him it was a viral infection (not sure how she came to that conclusion other than looking into ears nose & throat - no swab) and prescribed an expectorant and nasal spay for congestion. 10 days later, he's not getting that much better and still pretty congested and coughing. Husband anon had a tela-doc visit this morning and doc prescribed more expectorant and prednisone. Doc told hubby that prednisone was to protect his lungs. Doc & husband anon had brief conversation about Corona virus. Docc said he didn't feel accurate info was being put out. Said he had two physician friends in Italy who were telling him that younger people were getting the virus and the prediction in the coming weeks is that the the virus would explode through the 20-30 y/o population. Doc said had a 3rd physician friend in Italy who has Corona himself and he is currently intubated.
