Tested Positive For Covid
Please follow covid appropriate behavior, and take supportive treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sahiesh,
I read your query and see that you have tested positive for covid. I suppose it is covid RTPCR test positive.
The treatment for covid is symptomatic. Home isolation or quarantine is required. Self care in the form of regular steam inhalation, warm saline gargling, intake of herbal tea etc helps.
Medical treatment consists of daily dose of Tablet Paracetamol, Tablet Zinc, Tablet Vitamin C, and other supportive measures including regular monitoring of oxygen saturation and body temperature.
Please ensure you maintain normal body temperature, and your oxygen saturation percentage (spO2) is above 90% at room air (you can measure it using pulse oximeter at home).
Hospitalization is required only in critical cases, and secondary lung infections.
Please follow covid appropriate behavior like frequent washing of hands, maintaining social distance, and wearing a mask.
Please upload your lab report, if possible.
Let me know about your health concerns regarding your current covid infection.
Do not panic, you should be fine soon.
Regards,
Dr Shanthi E
