Phoned 111 after a bad night breathing and coughing tested positive for covid. Had a quick chat with 111 who said that they would get a clinical nurse to phone later. I may be able to have some anti viral medication. Has anyone gone through this?

I just had COVID for the 3rd time (first got it teaching elementary school in Nov 2020, then in July 2022 and just now at end of February)…
I didn’t have access to anti virals. They are difficult to get your hands on here in Canada. Most recent bout has really messed up my breathing and have been sleeping all propped up. Getting a BiPAP later this week as a result.
Hopefully you can get anti virals. I know you need to get them within 5 days of testing positive -
Thanks AngieComment

I had to have my antivirals intravenously because of a clash with my current drugs and the tablet form. I felt well again after 24 hours 👍Foxes Never Quit 💙Comment

Still waiting for the ambulance 111 ordered at 1.05pm. They said I needed to go in for the anti viral medication. Phoned 999 6pm they said they are aware of request, then went through the questionnaire, told me a ambulance would come out but couldn't promise when.Comment

Stevedp Can't you get the tablets, or are they still hard to get in the UK?

Spent the night in resus oxygen 92% pulse 120 was struggling to cough. Staff were brilliant, ordered the anti viral and amoxicillin. Managed to get home using patient transport ( first time user) also had injection to thin my blood re taking antiviral medication. Thank you all for your supportComment
