Question

I've recently recovered from COVID-19, tested negative 20 days ago, but I'm still dealing with some mild post-COVID symptoms like headaches and a bit of abdominal discomfort. I've been wondering if it'd be okay to have a couple of small bottles of beer to relax during these tough times. Is it safe to have alcohol now, or should I wait a bit longer?

It is generally advisable to avoid alcohol consumption while recovering from COVID-19 and experiencing post-COVID symptoms. Alcohol can weaken your immune system and may interfere with the recovery process. It is best to focus on staying hydrated, getting adequate rest, and eating a healthy diet to support your body's recovery. If you are experiencing headache and abdominal pain, you can take acetaminophen for headache relief and antacids for abdominal pain. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions.
