your treatments and monitoring your symptoms. If you spot any changes in your symptoms, you should let your healthcare provider know.
Staying on top of your health also includes the foods you are putting in your body. Avoid restrictive diets, which are harmful to immune function. Instead, opt for a diet that includes a balance of macro and micronutrients to maintain a healthy immune system.
6. Try monoclonal antibodies.
Antibodies play an important role in fighting illnesses like COVID, however, those with immunocompromised conditions such as cancer, kidney disease, lupus, etc. may have trouble building antibodies. This is where monoclonal antibodies come in handy.
Talk with your healthcare provider to determine if monoclonal antibodies are right for you. He or she can help you decide if you’ll benefit from this type of therapy.
7. Get tested regularly.
Although testing for COVID has slowed down, this should still be one of your lines of defense. Regular testing will allow you to catch the disease right away so that you can take the appropriate measures to protect yourself as soon as possible and prevent severe complications.
8. Take care of your teeth.
Some of the immunosuppression medications you may be taking can lead to dental problems. If you spot any problems with your teeth, mouth, or gums, notify your dentist because these can lead to other health concerns.
If your immune system isn’t in tip-top shape, and you are still worried about how COVID may affect your health, being proactive and following these tips will help you better protect yourself.
