President Biden had a slightly elevated temperature last night but his physician says that “his symptoms have improved” as he receives treatment after testing positive for COVID-19 on Thursday.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a statement released by the White House that Biden had a temperature of 99.4 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday evening, which has since returned to normal since he received Tylenol.
O’Connor says he still has a runny nose and fatigue and a “loose” and “occasional non-productive” cough.
Biden has completed a full day of Paxlovid treatment and O’Connor writes, “The President is tolerating treatment well.” His symptoms are being treated with oral hydration, Tylenol and an Albuterol inhaler as needed.
O’Connor says the president may add low-dose aspirin as an alternative blood thinner as some regular prescriptions are suspended during his Paxlovid treatment.
