My mom had COVID-19 and it got to a a point where she had bad short breath and needed to be hospitalized but I refused (after the stories I heard of people being neglected and so forth ) and we were able to treat it and she now is negative .

I’m not a doctor but this helped .

A nebulizer ...you can get these at dis chem and I think clicks as well !!
Put eucalyptus oil and Vick’s and it turns it into mist and into the mask which would be attached to your face .

Red onion !
Chew it !
Put some in your socks !
And also wrap it up in towel and place it over the persons chest with short breath.

Steam every 4 times a day with Gumtree leaves , eucalyptus oil and mhlonyane ! (Not sure how easy these are to get but I got mine from my grans place in eastern cape .

This is abit costly but trust me it’s worth every cent and it will save your life ! It’s an oxygen concentrater and it cost me R18500 but for the time my mom was really out of breath ..this saved her life !!

Seems abit weird at first but balloon exercises help with the short breath ! Before you get up !
Inhale through the nose and into the balloon and do this Atleast every hour !

Prednisone tablets ! Really help but this is a steroid though so I wouldn’t recommend it unless it gets really bad !, my mom took 8 a day (4 in the morning , 4 at night ) ...you do need a prescription for these .

Also invest in this spray think it’s available at all pharmacies and spray the room 3 times a day !...this helped disinfect the room she was in .

These , A lid of each with honey and warm water !

Also stay away from cold water ... drink all your medication with Luke warm water .

Also get Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Pills with Zinc
Ecotrin (it’s a aspirin)

I’m not a doctor but just hoping this helps someone out there if you have any questions dm me
