HOW TO FIGHT COVID AT HOME
No one ever talks about how to fight Covid at home. I came down with Covid in November. I went to the hospital, running a fever of 103, a rapid heart beat, and other common........ symptoms that come with Covid.
While I was there they treated me for the high fever, dehydration and pneumonia.The doctor sent me home to fight Covid with two prescriptions - Azithromycin 250mg and Dexamethason 6mg.
When the nurse came in to discharge me, I asked her....... "What can I do to help fight this at home?"
She said, “Sleep on your stomach at all times with Covid. If you can’t sleep on your stomach because of health issues sleep on your side. Do not lay on your back no matter what because it smashes your lungs..... and that will allow fluid to set in.
Set your clock every two hours while sleeping on your stomach, then get out of bed and walk for 15-30 min, no matter how tired or weak that you are. Also move your arms around frequently, it helps to open your lungs.....
Breathe in thru your nose, and out thru your mouth. This will help build up your lungs, plus help get rid of the Pneumonia or other fluid you may have.When sitting in a recliner, sit up straight - do not lay back in the recliner, again this will smash your lungs......
While watching TV - get up and walk during every commercial.Eat at least 1 - 2 eggs a day, plus bananas, avocado and asparagus.These are good for Potassium. Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade Zero, Powerade Zero and Water with Electrolytes to prevent you from becoming dehydrated.... . Do not drink anything cold - have it at room temperature or warm it up. Water with lemon, and little honey, peppermint tea, apple cider are good suggestions for getting in fluids. No milk products, or pork. Vitamin’s D3, C, B, Zinc, Probiotic One-Day are good ideas..
Tylenol for fever. Mucinex, or Mucinex DM for drainage, plus helps the cough. Pepcid helps for cramps in your legs. One baby aspirin everyday can help prevent getting a blood clot, which can occur from low activity.
"Drink a smoothie of blueberries,strawberries,bananas,honey, tea and a spoon or two of peanut butter.We always hear of how Covid takes lives, but there isn't a lot of information out there regarding how to fight Covid. I hope this helps you or someone you know, just as it has..... helped me.
Share please.
Thank you
ReplyDeleteMy husband also handled his at home and confined himself to the BQ for 5weeks till he tested negative twice. My respect for him tripled with how he protected the rest of us. His colleague who got it same time with him eventually infected his pregnant wife and kids plus nanny.
DeleteThank God for His mercies.

ReplyDeleteI think I have covid-19, this cough has refused to go.
ReplyDeleteMy test came back negative but anytime I cough people will be suspecting me.
They said I should stop smoking till after this cough, how will I now get high?
This life no balance at all.
Na you dey do yourself.
DeleteSmokers with una irritating cough. You think? Better isolate and don't spread that shit
DeleteLol, must you get high, try alcohol anyway and check you lungs, maybe something worse than Covid, is playing 10 10 inside you.
DeletePlease help yourself and make some lifestyle adjustments. You can do it, Health is wealth.
DeleteAll the best and get well soon.
If you truly have Covid, you won't be thinking of getting high. What you have may be cigarette inducing cough
DeleteThank you BVs, I will stop smoking for now till I am better.

ReplyDeleteAre the nurse n patient resident in naija at all? Cos I am seeing asparagus, blue berries and strawberries....
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteI read this last week. Never imagined I'll be down with Covid 19 few days later.
ReplyDeleteGuys, this sickness is very real. The worst part of the sickness for me is the difficulty in breathing and the persistent burning throat. My fever stopped after 3 days, same with the body pain and headache.
I'm still recovering, but in addition to what the Poster wrote, I'll also advice for one to go for regular morning walks.
The fresh morning air helps my lungs alot.
May God save us all from this deadly pandemic.
