How to overcome a COVID-19 infection with a chest infection and breathing difficulty?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

You should isolate yourself as you have tested COVID-19 positive.

Follow the isolation guidelines as per the local health advisory.

Please answer a few questions-

1. Do you still have a cough? If yes, is it dry or wet?

2. Any relapse of fever?

3. Have you measured oxygen saturation in your blood (SpO2)?

4. Do you have any chest pain or difficulty breathing?

5. What medicines are you taking?

6. Do you have any chronic medical history of diabetes, hypertension, etc.?

I have these suggestions for you-

1. You can take a tablet Paracetamol 500 mg twice or thrice daily for fever and body ache.

2. You must do lukewarm water gargles two to three times a day for throat pain.

3. You must take adequate rest.

4. You must be in a well-ventilated room and mask up yourself.

5. You must check body temperature at least three times a day.

6. Measure SpO2 saturation at rest and after six minutes of walking.

Please follow up with answers to the above questions to guide you better.

Thanks.
