Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old who suffered SARS-CoV-2 recently and have recovered from it. I was depressed during my illness, as I had to take care of everything by myself. I do not have any symptoms now, and I am entirely fine. However, due to the increased anxiety and risk of acquiring COVID-19, I wanted to confirm if having been infected with SARS-CoV-2 would make me immune to COVID-19?

Hello,

Welcome to iCliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concern.

Yes, having recovered from SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2) gives you immunity and develops antibodies for about three months. Please do not take stress as COVID-19 is like flu, and your body will gradually fight it with the developed antibodies. Also, I suggest you get all the vaccination doses, including the booster dose, and make sure to follow these,

1) Eat a healthy balanced diet.

2) Take immunity boosters like vitamin C.

3) Follow precautions like wearing a mask and social distancing.

4) Make sure to exercise and do yoga.

I hope this helps.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
