AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a journal article that presents two cases where over-the-counter antihistamines significantly improved symptoms of postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) and enhanced daily functioning. Participants experienced notable symptom relief, suggesting potential benefits of antihistamines for long COVID treatment. The conversation highlights the need for further studies to validate these findings. A related popular article also supports the idea that antihistamines may help alleviate long COVID symptoms. Overall, the potential of antihistamines in managing PASC warrants more research.
