As with any other infection, COVID-19 also ups your chances of getting a fever, Dr. Zargarzadeh notes, which brings ample risks for a fetus during pregnancy. (It’s the reason you should never “tough out” a fever while pregnant, contrary to President Trump’s recent announcement, and should use acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol) to reduce it.) So, some […]

It’s well-established that a bout with COVID can seriously affect your mental health: The virus has been linked to both the development of new psychiatric conditions, like depression, as well as the exacerbation of any existing ones you might have. But now, for the first time, a massive new study of 18 million people in […]

The general consensus (right now, at least) is that it’s most common to test positive four days after your symptoms appear. According to a report from researchers at Emory University published in the fall of 2023, this is when your viral load, or the amount of virus harboring in your nasal passages, is at its […]
Continue ReadingBeyond that, other signs “include the standard common cold-like symptoms” that have been associated with COVID, Dr. Adalja adds. Wait, why does COVID cause pink eye in some people? It’s not uncommon for any virus—SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, included—to cause conjunctivitis, Dr. Schaffner says. In fact, conjunctivitis has been the only COVID symptom in […]
Continue ReadingAs everyone who got the COVID-19 vaccine knows, health authorities wanted to be very sure that the shots—and subsequent boosters—were safe and effective before authorizing them for the public. As occasional side effects have emerged, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has responded in real time to communicate the potential risks associated with the available […]
Continue ReadingGetting one annual shot could potentially be more palatable to pandemic-weary people, Dr. Russo says. The vaccine rollout has been “haphazard,” he explains, and the public has often been unclear about which COVID vaccines they should get and when. The thinking goes that, with a simple annual vaccine schedule, people will better understand how to protect themselves—and […]
Continue ReadingSince late November, a new subvariant of omicron called XBB.1.5 has been steadily gaining traction in the US. During Thanksgiving week, it made up just 1% of COVID-19 cases in the country, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But XBB.1.5 picked up speed over the holidays, and it now makes […]
Continue ReadingYou’ve probably noticed that face masks aren’t super popular right now. I’ve seen very few people wearing them in grocery stores and shops, on public transportation, and even in some doctors’ offices—which are the only places I’ve seen masks mandated in months. There are a number of reasons why masks have seemingly disappeared from public […]

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that many people are, well, a bit selfish. Most of us know a friend of a friend who decided to end their COVID isolation early to go to, say, a wedding or a concert. Or perhaps they refused to test themselves over the fear of actually being […]

I got married last month, and it was the most fabulous party of my life. We had an ABBA cover band, gold disco balls, and, best of all, no known resulting COVID-19 cases. It was the perfect celebration of love—not just because we had all-gender bathrooms and dessert options for the lactose intolerant among us, […]

Anyone who has an underlying health condition that boosts their risk of severe COVID should also make sure any rescue medications—such as inhalers for people with asthma—are up-to-date, Dr. Parikh says. If you’re high-risk, it could also be worth having a conversation with your doctor about how to minimize your chances of getting really sick. […]

It’s that time of year again. No, we’re not talking about pumpkin spice season, we’re referring to the my-nose-is-constantly-running-from-September-through-spring season. Everything from allergies to COVID-19 to the common cold or flu tends to get worse when the air gets cooler, and a runny nose (even when it’s relatively mild) can be a pretty annoying issue […]
