Posted on: 26/May/2021 2:46:12 PM
- First and foremost – if any doubts regarding corona, it is the best to take RT-PCR test! The State Government of Tamil Nadu offers this test FREE! You need to call ‘104’ to know the location of the test centre! There are private laboratories which offer to visit the residence and take this test! One needs to wait for a maximum of 24 hours to know the test results!
- In case RT-PCR tests come as positive, do not panic! First, you take a CT scan to know the extent of affection of the lungs!
- Do not make your own conclusions on seeing the test results! Consult and conclude whether it is better to have medical consultancy while being treated at home or whether it is better to visit the hospital and have treatment there!
- In case preferring to take house treatment, you will receive nutrient tablets as well as anti-biotic medicine/tablets. Take them WITHOUT FAIL! In case oxymeter is available, check the pulse and oxygen level regularly! In case oxygen level goes below 94, note IT IS BETTER TO CONSULT THE DOCTOR AND GET ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL IF REQUIRED!
- Do not take Allopathy tablets during this treatment without a doctor’s prescription! There are prospects of these leading to further complications!
- Take Siddha medicines including ‘kabasura kudineer’! There is no need to avoid taking this Siddha medicine even while taking Allopathy medicines!
- It is widely mentioned that it is better to have steam inhalation! Note that steam inhalation will not prevent corona! However, there is no harm in doing it!
- Isolate yourself in the house! Even while being alone, it is still better to wear the face mask!!
- Have regular intake of hot water, ‘kashayam’ (medicinal concoction using herbs, etc.), soup, etc., in order to ensure enough water intakes!
- Do not watch the news to a large extent! The negative news such as deaths, shortage of rooms in the hospital, etc., may lead to increased mental stress!
- Take good rest! Lie sideways or upside down! Lying like that will enhance oxygen content DO NOT LIE FLAT!
