Doctors offer serious advice that it is just sufficient for the citizens infected with corona to isolate themselves in a separate room in their residences to get better!
- Especially, the younger age group, those without any breathing issues, CAN JUST ISOLATE THEMSELVES FOR A FEW DAYS TO GET CURED!
- As all the hospitals throughout the country are OVERFLOWING WITH CORONA INFECTED PATIENTS, many of the patients with symptoms for corona have just isolated themselves in their residences!
- In this scenario, medical experts from AIIMS has advised on ‘Do`s & ‘Don’ts’ for these patients who have isolated themselves:
- Isolated patients MUST NOT TAKE REMDESIVIR MEDICINE!
- Avoid negative thoughts totally and undertake some light physical exercises daily!
- In case the body oxygen content goes below 94%. Depending on their age and regarding other illnesses, they can be admitted to the hospital!
- 80% of the affected patients have only mild symptoms! So, even in the case, a negative report comes from the RTPCR test, in case of strong corona symptoms, it is better to get tested for corona infection again! Once detecting some symptoms such as fever, these patients must be isolated from the other members in the residence immediately!
- Don’t think medicines alone will be ok! Note that they need to be taken in the right doses at the right time!
- As regards the patients over 60 years of age who already have high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart-related diseases, they must immediately consult the doctors and decide on isolating themselves in the residence!
- Fever, dry cough, fatigue, losing a sense of smell & taste, hoarse throat, headache, body-ache, loose motion (diarrhoea), itching sensation in the body, reddening of eyes, etc., ARE IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS OF CORONA! So, in case these symptoms are detected, it is better to take tests immediately or visit the doctors!
- Those who have isolated themselves MUST keep the items required daily insufficient stock! They also must keep readily available the contact phone numbers of their family members, friends, and doctors!
- Note that the other members of the family, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, MUST KEEP AWAY FROM THE ISOLATED PERSONS!
- Infected patients must wear 3-layered facial masks! Change it every 8 hours and remove and keep it aside carefully!
- The helper who brings food, water, etc., to the patient MUST KEEP WEARING FACE MASKS EVEN WHILE CHATTING!
- Regularly check the body oxygen content quantum with a pulse oxymeter! In case the nails are polished, remove the polish immediately! NOTE: REMAIN QUIET AND INACTIVE FOR SOMETIMES – AT LEAST 5-10 SECONDS - BEFORE TAKING THE OXYGEN TEST!
