"Potli-zumab"
Has absolutely no effect on O² levels. It cannot generate oxygen.
This mixture, at best, acts like Vicks inhaler to clear blocked nasal passages.
If you have a cold, you would feel fresher & able to draw breath through both nostrils after this.

"Lemon drops in the nose"
Does not improve oxygenation nor does it give you enough Vit C to fight COVID.
What happens is, its acid damages the lining of your nose & make you more susceptible to catching infections including COVID.

"Using a nebulizer generates oxygen & helps patients to manage without O² cylinders"
NO !
It just rushes atmospheric air mixed with medicines directly into your respiratory tract.
If O² saturation is low than 93, patient needs to be on O² - at home/hospital.

"100% O² saturation should be aimed at"
NOOOOO !
No one can have 100% saturation on room air unless they're very athletic, do a lot of Pranayam/breathing exercises all thoroughly their lives.
So please don't start panicking at 95 - 96.

Noooooooo !
You got WIDAL test done & it came +ve. That doesn't mean you have TYPHOID.
This test gives FALSE +VE in COVID patients due to cross reactivity.
Pls don't self medicate with typhoid medicines.

It has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT on these for either of the genders.

"There's a relation between Covid vaccines and heart attacks"
NO
In a large population that gets vaccinated, there'll naturally be certain people who will have incidents like heart attacks; this no. was not much more than what was seen in the period before the vaccine.

"Anti microbial mouthwashes/sprays will kill Corona virus"
No they will not do that.
Overuse of such, on the other hand, may give rise to fungal infections of the mouth & throat.

"Vaccination can cause COVID infection"
To get infected, the LIVE virus, should enter the body.
The vaccines contain either the deactivated virus (Covaxin) or parts of spike protein (Covishield).
So there's no way you can get infected FROM the vaccines.
That being said, ++

One could get infected from visiting the hospital to get vaccinated - ONLY IF YOU DIDN'T WEAR MASK PROPERLY, DIDN'T FOLLOW SOCIAL DISTANCING & let your guard down AT ANY TIME when you were OUT OF THE HOUSE.
GET VACCINATED ASAP - is the only prevention apart from SMS

"Vaccine is not needed if I have ALREADY had & recovered from COVID"
Immunity coming from infection lasts barely 2-3 months.
If you were asymptomatic or had mild symptoms, your immunity will be low & short lasting.
So you must get vaccinated even if you had COVID.

"Can give up masks & distancing AFTER VACCINATION"
NO.
Vaccine prevents the occurrence of SEVERE DISEASE - even vaccinated people get infected but most of them get only mild disease unlike the UNVACCINATED.
We have to continue with precautions in the foreseeable future.
