Life with covid – Protect yourself

Like anyone else in the world 🌍 we were leading a normal life without mask and sanitizers. Forgetfulness is human nature but viruses 🦠 are not forgiving microbes. One mistake makes you suffer 😭 . I would like to share a recent incident which happen to me and my family.

Never take microbes lightly they may not be visible to naked eyes 👀 but extremely powerful. They make a healthy person fall sick in one day, whereas recovery will take one or two weeks based on the affected persons health conditions.

How we became the victims of COVID

We welcomed new year 🎊 happily and leading a decent life. On one unfortunate day my spouse was exposed to COVID virus 🦠 without his knowledge somewhere from workplace or from a nearby grocery shop.

Initially he was complaining about thorat pain, which we did not consider seriously because the place where we are currently staying is in minus degree temperature. So we thought it may be because of weather.

Later after two days he got severe fever followed by vomitings. He took paracetamol and fever reduced but he had unbearable headache for two days. He took all precautions by wearing mask and staying away from me and baby.

Like they say ” you can’t change your destiny”. My daughter who is just 2 and half years old got affected badly.

Life with Covid – how we came to know

After my daughter’s temperature started rising, we took her to a nearby hospital. They performed test on her and confirmed its Covid. We were in shock.

The place we were living was hit by snow strom the day before we took out baby to hospital. Snow was almost till the knee level. Every one in the home was affected by Covid, one of the difficult times in our life.

I never forget, in the -13 degree temperature with fever and headaches we reached hospital and my daughter was shivering continuously.

What medicine we took for Covid?

At present we are staying in America, we are not prescribed with any anti viral and anti bacterial medicine. We just took paracetamol and that it, with that all our fever got reduced.

For me Covid affected in different way, I got only mild fever. But, I was affected by server cold and headaches. So I additionally took cold and allergy medicine to reduce my symptoms.

How to handle COVID?

Firstly don’t panic, second thing you need to do is isolation from others. So, that others won’t get affected.

Take rest if possible, try to eat something. Try to have some liquids. It’s very difficult to do all these when you have COVID but it’s mandatory. After 5 days you will be fine , without any problem. For some people it may have an effect for longer period.

General recovery rate is from one or two weeks from day of attack.

Once you recover from COVID, clean the home with disinfectant and wash all the blankets you used during the fever. Allow some fresh air to enter the home.

Summing up

Never take things for granted, especially flu. Protect yourself by wearing mask and use sanitizer when you step outside.

If any one display cold symptoms try to maintain good distance from them.

!! Stay healthy and happy!
