Got #covid ? Don& #39;t worry it& #39;s not a death sentence.

Step 1: Isolate and monitor

I assume u must have started isolating even before you tested + , if not, do so immediately. Get the others at home tested ASAP. Monitor your temperature and oxygen saturation.

Step 2: Managing Co-morbidities

If u have any co-morbidity continue to take the meds you were already on. Don& #39;t STOP meds for ur diabetes or hypertension or thyroid d/o.

Step 3: Managing fever

Fever is a very common symptom. Please dont panic. Take a paracetamol. An adult may take upto 3gm/day i.e ~650mg 6 hourly. Continue to monitor your oxygen sats every 4-6 hrs.

Step 4: Saturation is https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten"> what to do?

Don& #39;t PANIC. How low is low? 92-94 % is acceptable. Proning helps i.e lying on ur belly. Continue to monitor sats frequently. Consult a doctor. Get the tests they ask you to. Eg CRP/ D-dimer/ ±HRCT chest.

There is enough evidence these medicines DON& #39;T work. They are still in protocols coz https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇮🇳" title="Flagge von Indien" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Indien"> isn& #39;t exactly a fan of evidence based medicine. The doctors are better at reading medical literature. Let them do that.

Step 6: Monitor again and Rest

Almost 90% will have only mild symptoms and will be taken care of by your immune system just like other viral illnesses. There is nothing that https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬆️" title="Pfeil nach oben" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach oben"> your immunity. PLEASE DONT TRUST WHATSAPP FORWARDS. U don& #39;t need to take vit d/vit c etc

Step 7: Vaccination post #COVIDー19

Now that you have fought covid, get the vaccine if u haven& #39;t already. U need to wait ~4 weeks post recovery to get the #vaccine. Vaccines definitely prevent severe disease & death.
