Know your own health issues and plan accordingly. For example.
Adhesive capsulitis, gout or any other joint inflammation = Naproxen (Aleve in a pinch), Colchicine, Indomethacin.
Perieanal cyst (learned the hard way) = Full course of broad spectrum antibiotic, start taking and then seek care.
Go to Urgent Care as a last resort - don't let it get to an ER visit.
Tramadol at the most for pain, avoid the condones etc. Ibuprofen .
Mucinex 'D' for chest/head congestion - the kind you have to show your drivers license for.
Loratadine for allergy, Benadryl lotion for skin irritation. Sunscreen and wide hat before it gets to that. (Super white guy).
I keep a rolling stock medicine cabinet. I have my GP double up on meds, he understands I drive and do not abuse medications.
I never got Covid, I rarely get a cough or cold or flu, but the above described are the ones that will prevent me from doing my job - so I prepare accordingly. Each individual is different, prepare for your own necessity.D.Tibbitt and Sirscrapntruckalot Thank this. -
But the last thing I wash in the shower is my feet. Always wash (with soap) your feet and it probably won't be a problem.hope not dumb twucker Thanks this. -
