"Oxidative stress is essentially an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants."Wikipedia has a good explanation of oxidative stress in more detail.
To fix this, you need to (greatly) increase the amount of antioxidants in your blood, simply take vitamin C, that puts that electrons back and the symptoms will go away.
The catch is you have to take a lot. While we require a homeopathic dose ("vitamins") to prevent scurvy, when under attack from a poison from an invasive pathogen the amount the body uses is rather incredible. Worse, absorption of ascorbate via the oral route is extremely inefficient and it only lasts in the blood for 30 minutes.
Ref: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1405876/
Get a bottle of 1000 mg vitamin C pills, (not the silly chewable or sweetener ones) or some pure ascorbate acid crystals from the canning aisle which is 1/2 the price, and eat that stuff like candy. If choose Calcium ascorbate, this is far easier on the digestive tract for some people. They're both cheap and readily available. Again, avoid ones where the listed ingredient contain sweeteners either synthetic or natural (these inhibit absorption of C).
When not under attack from a foreign toxin from bites, stings or virus the body will flush any any excess (> 7g/day) and will produce loose stool above that level but before that happens you'll feel your guts churn.
However when you are ill this threshold is increased by as much as an order of magnitude and there are reports of doctors (Andrew Saul reported this) taking up to 20 grams every six minutes to abate the symptoms of viral pneumonia in under a single day.
At this time you will notice you can take several grams every hour and the more you take the more you will notice an abatement of the symptoms.
There is no overdose level, C is literally safer than water. At 11 liters water dilutes serum sodium to the point where death occurs; compare this with the highest dose ever taken of C, 47 pounds in one week used to treat cancer. Vitamin C used in therapeutic doses is literally safer than water.
The only potential problem is if somebody has kidney disease in this case it should be administered in conjunction with a medical doctor and this is always a good idea to tell your physician what you are doing - he has the tools to measure important metrics. But, absent kidney disease this is often not required. Certainly when used as traditional medicine (every culture has a food that is absurdly high in C) it never was.

The US Governments own tests (it's used in very high doses and helps cancer patients) show it's safety:
Liposomal vitamin C gets around the malabsorption issues but is expensive.
So, give that a try, it's rather dramatic.
One other minor but not insignificant thing that helps is brazil nuts because of the ridiculous levels of selenium which nearly all humans are deficient in and is the essential raw material for the production of the lipid peroxidase inhibitor Glutathione peroxidase. Eat 4 a day.
Other things proven to relieve irritated tissue: oregano oil taken nasally and ginger tea made preferably from fresh ginger root, the both help you feel better quickly as well.

Dr Thomas Levy was brought to New Zealand in the wake of the Alan Smith story on 60 minutes called "Living Proof?"
Alan was deathly ill with swine flu and he was cured because of HDIVC (High Dose Intravenous Vitamin C)
