In general, the treatment of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy is the same as in nonpregnant patients.

Pregnancy is a risk factor for severe COVID-19; the use of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir is recommended if indicated

I was struggling with lingering symptoms from long COVID and decided to try Paxlovid based on my doctor's recommendation. After a few days of treatment, I noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels and a reduction in my lingering cough. Although the cost was quite high, my insurance covered it.

Paxlovid appeared to shorten the overall duration of my illness. I felt like I was back to my regular activities much sooner than I expected, which was a relief considering how debilitating COVID-19 can be.
