"Identifying 7 Common COVID Rebound Symptoms for Risk Assessment"

COVID rebound is the recurrence of COVID symptoms after initial improvement or a new positive test after a negative one. It's not exactly clear why it happens, but it's thought to occur three to seven days after an infection resolves. While there's debate about the cause, it's suggested that taking Paxlovid may increase the risk. Symptoms are usually mild, and the illness lasts less than a week. Rebound rates vary, and it's recommended to re-isolate and wear a mask if experiencing rebound symptoms. Despite the risk of rebound, it's still recommended for high-risk individuals to take Paxlovid due to its substantial benefits in preventing severe illness from COVID.
