Useful medical tips on detecting and managing Covid-19
As the hospital system is overwhelmed, a “group of health professionals”, in a social media post, has offered some useful tips in case patients don’t want to risk immediate admission to hospital.
Symptoms appear from the third day after infection (viral symptoms).
First phase;
Body pain, eye pain,
headache, vomiting
diarrhea, runny nose or nasal congestion
decomposition, burning eyes,
Burning sensation when urinating
feeling feverish, scuffed throat (sore throat)
It is very important to count the days of symptoms: 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
Take action before the onset of fever
It is important to drink plenty of fluids, especially purified water. Drink plenty of water to keep your throat moist and to help clear your lungs.
Second phase; (from 4th to 8th day) inflammatory.
Loss of taste and/or smell
Fatigue with minimal effort
Chest pain (rib cage)
Tightening of the chest
Pain in the lower back (in the kidney area)
__________
The virus attacks nerve endings;
The difference between fatigue and shortness of breath:
Lack of air is when the person is sitting – without making any effort – and is out of breath;
Fatigue is when the person moves around to do something simple and feels tired.
__________
It takes a lot of hydration and vitamin C.
__________
Covid-19 binds oxygen, so the quality of the blood is poor, with less oxygen.
? On day 9, the healing phase begins, which can last until day 14 (convalescence)? Do not delay treatment.The sooner the better!
__________
It is better to follow these recommendations, prevention is never too much!
• Sit in the sun for 15-20 minutes for every two hours.
• Rest and sleep for at least 7-8 hours.
• Drink 2 and a half liters of water per day
All food should be hot (not cold).
Keep in mind that the pH of the coronavirus ranges from 5.5 to 8.5.
So all we have to do to eliminate the virus is to eat more alkaline foods, above the acid level of the virus.
How do you know you have Covid-19?
? Itchy throat
? Dry throat
? Dry cough
? High temperature
? Difficulty breathing
? Loss of smell and taste
The hot water you drink is good for your throat. But this corona virus is hidden behind the paranasal sinus of your nose for 3 to 4 days. The hot water we drink does not reach there. After 4 to 5 days this virus that was hidden behind the paranasal sinus reaches your lungs. Then you have trouble breathing.
That’s why it is very important to steam, which reaches the back of your paranasal sinus. You have to kill this virus in the nose with steam.
At 50°C, this virus becomes disabled i.e. paralyzed. At 60°C this virus becomes so weak that any human immunity system can fight against it. At 70°C this virus dies completely.
This is what steam does. The entire public health department knows this. But everyone wants to take advantage of this pandemic. So they don’t share this information openly.
One who stays at home should take steam once a day. If you go to the market to buy vegetables, take it twice a day. Anyone who meets some people or goes to office should take steam 3 times a day.
Forward this to all your loved ones.
*Steam week*
According to doctors, Covid -19 can be killed by inhaling steam from the nose and mouth, eliminating the Coronavirus. If all the people started a steam drive campaign for a week, the pandemic will soon end. So here is a suggestion:
* Start the process for a week morning and evening, for just 10 minutes each time, to inhale steam. Please do this for every half an hour if you are able.
If all adopt this practice for a week the deadly Covid-19 could be curbed.
This practice has no side effects either.
