Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I feel a slight increase in body temperature, with cold, cough, sore throat, fatigue, nauseous, and headache. I feel so heavy and unable to move. I go to my office daily and work in a separate cabin, so are there chances for me to acquire COVID? I checked my body temperature with a digital thermometer, and it showed 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Sugandh Garg

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. I would like to know the following:

1) Are you taking any medicines for these symptoms?

2) Are you taking any medicines for diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, and heart ailment?

3) How long do you have these symptoms?

4) Did you come in contact with any person with COVID?

5) Any difficulty in breathing?

I suggest you do the following:

1) Avoid cold and sour foods, junk, alcohol, non-vegetarian foods, and smoking.

2) Gargle with warm saline water.

3) Do steam inhalation.

4) Drink plenty of warm fluids.

5) Start a course of antihistaminic and antibiotic medications.

6) An antacid like Omeprazole with Domperidone combination will help.

7) Tablet Paracetamol 500 mg if you have a fever.

8) Check vitals, including oxygen saturation.

9) Maintain temperature monitoring chart.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
