Aspirin+Claritin was what I used when I had a few weeks of extended COVID effects past the actual infection. It really does seem to work!

Or at least I think I had it... I never actually tested, I just assumed I should probably isolate regardless of whether it was COVID or the flu.

Tests are plentiful and easy. If you think you have it, get a test and find out. You still did the right thing by isolating, but advocating for aspirin and Claritin as relief for covid while not actually knowing for sure you had it is not as good. In fact, it can be dangerous, given those two drugs may interact with things others take but then read this and assume it's an effective treatment. You could have just been having an allergic reaction to early spring.

What kind of extended COVID effects did you have? I have a nagging cough about six weeks after my infection.
