Know How iCliniq’s Physician Helped A Patient With Post-COVID Complications

A COVID patient contacted iCliniq regarding a few concerns. He said he tested COVID positive a few weeks back and then tested negative after eleven days. Even after testing negative, he occasionally complained of a blocked nose, and his oxygen saturation levels kept falling below 91%. He also complained about having loose motions one or two times daily and mentioned all the medications. He was very anxious and wanted to know why he still had a few COVID symptoms even after being tested negative.

Our iCliniq doctor read the patient’s query and went through the attached prescription. He first asked the patient to calm down and informed him that the symptoms were due to post-COVID complications. He further explained that in a few patients, these complications could occur after recovering from COVID. The doctor then inquired about the oxygen saturation levels, and he wanted to know when the oxygen saturation levels fall, the night or day.

The patient was happy that our doctor replied on time and said that his oxygen saturation levels fell during the evenings.

Our doctor asked the patient not to worry and said these are the post-COVID symptoms and it will get better within one to two weeks and asked the patient to continue with the medications. The doctor also suggested him some breathing exercises with a respirometer and include flavonoid-rich foods like green tea daily, milk with crushed ginger, turmeric, and pepper milk twice daily, and to take some vitamin C-rich fruits like sweet lime, orange, and kiwi as nutrition plays a vital role in overcoming post-COVID complications. The doctor also suggested he take Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 tablets for two weeks, along with an antibiotic for his loose stools. He assured the patient that he would be alright very soon and asked him to stay stress-free.

The patient confessed that he felt relieved after the consultation and was very grateful to our doctor and that he was very fortunate that this doctor chose to answer his health query. The patient also reverted after a few days saying that he was feeling much better and his oxygen levels were back to normal.
