Revisiting COVID-19 Precautionary Box: Most Prominent Symptoms And How to Cure Yourself Before It Worsens

COVID-19: With the increase in cases of COVID 19, it is time to re-adhere to protocols and protect ourselves from the virus as best we can.

COVID-19: ‘No again!’ It’s what most of us think, if not say it out loud, when we see the headlines about rising COVID cases. The COVID-19 pandemic has had such an overwhelming effect on health, body, and mind that even the thought of a potential wave is painful and frustrating at the same time. Along with this, Influenza type A subtype H3N2 has been causing another wave of panic. And for H3N2, drastic climate changes are one of the key factors for the increase in cases. While H3N2 is the new virus on the block, COVID-19 appears to be making a comeback by pressing on that old traumatic nerve again. So, dear readers, why not bring out our COVID prevention toolbox again? Why wait to rerun those RT-PCR tests when we can work hard to protect ourselves?

COIVD 19 has already been on a learning lesson about what we should eat to strengthen our immune system, what to drink, and how to be safe from our end.

Let’s go through all the things we’re trying to find answers to in terms of protection:

MAIN Symptoms of COVID-19

First things first, signs and symptoms to watch out for. COVID is caused by SARD-CoV-2 and is a severe acute respiratory disorder.

• High fever that goes on for about 2-3 days now
• feeling chills
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Loss of smell and taste.
• Increased periods of fatigue
• Sore throat
• Runny nose, cough and cold
• Headache, body ache
• Nausea

Now, the severity of these signs and symptoms can vary from person to person. During the pandemic, several people were also asymptomatic, meaning their symptoms were not noticeable. Sometimes people didn’t even know they had it, but they did.

COVID-19 precautions you should take yourself:

• The golden rule is to mask up! The use of masks is important as COVID is spread through droplets and is contagious.
• Avoid crowded places and keep social distance.
• Eat healthy foods: We must eat foods that boost our immunity. Zinc, vitamin C, ginger, turmeric were the most used foods that were advised to consume during the pandemic. Have a diet rich in zinc and vitamin C, drink turmeric milk. Hand
• Hygiene: Keep a sanitizer everywhere you go and continue to wash your hands often.
• Don’t touch your face, eyes too much.

Government Guidelines:

Antibiotics should not be used unless there is clinical suspicion of bacterial infection.

In accordance with the revised Covid-19 guidelines, maintain “Physical distancing, use of masks indoors, hand hygiene, Symptom Management (hydration, antipyretics, antitussives) Monitor temperature and oxygen saturation (by applying an SpO2 probe on fingers) Keep in touch with treating doctor.

“Seek immediate medical attention if you have shortness of breath, high fever/severe cough, especially if it lasts more than 5 days. A low threshold should be maintained for those with any of the high-risk features,” the guidelines discussed and prepared in January said.

So people, it’s time to put on your mask and stay safe!
