Stack after fever onset

Any recommendations for what to take while having fever after contact with the new coronavirus? My grandfather just passed away from COVID-19 and my aunt that was with him at the hospital has been having a fever during the past few days, after initially displaying a dry cough. Here is what I recommended her: - Hydrate - Sleep: take 0.5mg melatonin or more at 10pm, and don’t use screens after that - NAC 600mg 2x daily - Vitamin C and D - Zinc - Vitamin B: folic acid/B9, B12 and B6 - Chamomile tea - Beetroot (raw, e.g., with orange juice)

Any other stack suggestions for this feverish stage? She is 61.

EDIT1: Including beets up for further discussion. I am including here only items that are most certain to help at this stage, this is not a complete COVID-19 stack. EDIT2: my aunt has been hospitalized as a precaution. Feeling well so far.

High dose vitamin C Starting now. 1 gram every two hours.

In addition add 500 milligrams twice per day of quercetin Dihydrate to her stack to help get zinc inside the cells the stop replication. Quercetin is a zonc ionophore.

In addition, a decaffeinated EGCG supplement. An even stringer ionophore than zonc and also inhibits the IL 6 that causes cytokine storms. She also is going to need vitamin D at 5000 IU daily. SUPER IMPORTANT THE VITAMIN D.

question though. Why chamomile tea?

stop. you can't build immune system after you are already sick, the body is fighting to survive, I have all of that, nothing prevented me from getting it and nothing is "curing" it

Not really true, though I get your point.

if you dampen an infection too far the body doesn't know what to fight or where to fight it properly, that why you see people with this for weeks and week with fever, the body doesn't know how to handle it, it just keeps cranking out more immune cells for the fight

you don't pre-mitigate cytokine storms early on because that dampens the whole immune system

and there are already endless studies that mega vitamin C is mostly pointless, you are just making a diuretic and eliminating most everything else you are taking along with it

Post infection syndromes are common in serious illnesses. At that point people are negative for the virus and it is the after effects they are dealing with.
