My son's dealing with it too, but not too well I must say. Posted earlier...

Yesterday, he decided to order Paxlovid. Sometime after he took his first pill last night, he texted me:

"Paxlovid mouth is awful...
Just spent like 10 mins vomiting and can't consume anything because my mouth tastes like burnt and soapy grapefruit."

He's (was) a healthy 35yo living in NYC. I don't know what advice to give him. He & his g.f. broke up months ago, that's why he's leaning on his Mom now. I am not complaining; I just do not know what to tell him to counter the terrible effects of the Paxlovid.

Any suggestions are welcome, please. Thanks.
