EVERYONE is telling you how to
NOT CATCH #coronavirus, but
NO ONE is saying
WHAT TO DO? if you get it!
To Avoid Covid-19
- Good hand washing
- Personal hygiene
- Social distancing
- Wear face mask
If you get Covid-19
Please prepare as though you’re going to get a nasty respiratory bug, like Bronchitis or Pneumonia. You just have the foresight to know it might come your way!
Things you should actually buy ahead of time
- Facial tissues, face masks & gloves
- Paracetamol
- Generic mucus thinning cough medicine (make sure you’re not doubling up on Paracetamol)
- Honey and lemon can work just as well!
- Vicks vaporub for your chest is also a great suggestion
- Run Humidifier or Steamer overnight
- You can also just turn the shower on hot and sit in the bathroom breathing in the steam
- If you have a history of Asthma and you have a prescription inhaler, make sure the one you have isn’t expired and refill it/get a new one if necessary
- Meals – This is also a good time to meal prep: make a big batch of your favourite soup/rasam
- Hydrate (drink!) hydrate, hydrate! Stock up on whatever is your favourite drink. Even though water is fine you may appreciate some variety!
- For symptom management and a fever over 38°C / 100.4°F, take Paracetamol rather than Ibuprofen
- Rest lots. You should not leave your house!
- Even if you are feeling better you may will still be infectious for fourteen days
- Wear gloves and a mask to avoid contaminating others in your house
- Isolate in your bedroom if not living alone, ask friends and family to leave supplies outside to avoid contact
- Sanitize your bed linen and clothes frequently by washing and clean your bathroom with recommended sanitizers.
When to visit Hospital?
You DO NOT NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL unless you are having trouble breathing or your fever is very high (over 39°C / 102.2°F) and unmanaged with meds.
90% of healthy adult cases thus far have been managed at home with basic rest / hydration / over-the-counter meds.
If you are worried or in distress or feel your symptoms are getting worse or have a pre-existing lung condition (COPD, Emphysema, Lung cancer) or are on immunosuppressant, now is a great time to talk to your Doctor or specialist about what they would like you to do if you get sick.
Children – One major relief to you parents is that KIDS DO VERY well with coronavirus— they usually bounce back in a few days (but they will still be infectious), Just use paediatric dosage.
This is to inform that the pH for corona virus varies from 5.5 to 8.5.
All we need to do, to beat the corona virus, we need to take more of alkaline food that have the pH level above that of the Virus.
Some of which are:
How do you know you have corona virus?
- Itching in the throat
- Dry throat
- Dry cough
- High temperature
- Shortness of breath
- Loss of smell & taste
So whenever you notice these things quickly take warm water with lemon.
Note: Please consult a doctor when you are in doubt . Also avoid certain foods if you are allergic or should not take due to an existing medical condition.
