WHAT PAINKILLERS to take while you have Covid?

Can someone take what a diabetic is allowed to take while having covid?

what painkillers, what pills, what medications to reduce temperature

The answer to this question seems to be a mystery, there is lots of contradicting online contradictions, medicine companies tell you to contact the doctors, most of doctors never read leaflets, tell you to contact info line, infoline does not tell you anything and tell you to ask doctors etc


please share your experience and advice thanks

Paracetamol are the preferred option, but this may not be enough, but to get pain killers that are, will have to be prescribed by a GP.

Keep safe.

I didn't take any. I don't like to bring a temperature down as it is the body's natural way of fighting the virus.
 
Hi @wannaknow , with diabetes you can take all the usual over the counter pain medication.
If you need something stronger than paracetamol or ibuprofen. please contact your doctor to ask if they can give you a prescription.
