Colton Underwood just posted an update on his health as he battles the coronavirus.
The former Bachelor is starting to feel a little better as he quarantines himself on the third floor of girlfriend Cassie Randolph’s family’s house in Huntington Beach.
He shared a new Instagram post on Monday, writing, “The last few days were rougher than I expected. The most prominent symptoms are my cough, night sweats and shortness of breathe. Breathing is challenging, the best way to describe it is feeling like I only have access to 20% of my lungs. I can only imagine how people with pre-existing health conditions feel with this.”

Colton is hoping he’s “turned the corner” thanks to some medication. He wrote, “I’m currently on hydroxychloroquine, Z-Pak and last night the doctor prescribed an inhaler, also. I’m hopeful that they are starting to work! This morning was the first time that I’ve felt any real type of improvement since the beginning of this. Im hopeful that I’ve turned the corner and will be back to 100% soon. We are very lucky that all of this was manageable at home after getting the proper medicine.”
The reality star also explained the precautions they are taking within the house, saying, “I’m on the third story of the Randolph’s home, isolated from the rest of the family (The Health Department called and spoke to both Cassie’s mom and me to make sure we understood timing and what to do). When they make food they make an extra plate and drop it off and have been checking on me regularly to make sure I am comfortable and breathing! They have been amazing and have been taking great care of me. Stay positive people…We got this!”

Over the weekend, Cassie shared her life in quarantine as she helped take care of Colton and kept a safe distance from him as they hung out on the house’s third-floor deck. In one post she explained that he was tired, easily winded, and sleeping a lot.
