Indeed, I got #COVID19 🤒My symptoms were high fever, short breadth, cough, and tiredness. Luckily it was not too bad, I have no other conditions, so I healed at home in 2 weeks. I am completely fine now, so don't worry!😊These things, above all, helped with my healing:
(1 ~ 5)

(2~ 5)1⃣#Paracetamol kept my fever under control. I avoided #Ibuprofen as a matter of precaution as there were some concerns spreading. Not sure they were scientifically supported, but Paracetamol was good enough for me so I sticked to that,

(3~ 5)2⃣For the breathing I bought an #aerosol nebulizer on #Amazon and inhaled saline solutions twice a day (shipped from Germany, as in the UK a prescription is needed). I also took cough suppressant syrup, and drank A LOT of hot liquids (ginger and lemon🍋).

(4~ 5) 3⃣I slept a lot, more than 12h per day in the first days
😴 - which helped. These things instead made me feel weaker and sick: speaking, working, reading, watching screens (even just for a movie), using the phone. Just rest, rest, rest.

(5~ 5) 4⃣Make sure you have someone helping you (from a distance) but avoid telling the world you're sick. 🤐People will worry 💟and will call/text you all the time. Which means that either responding will make you tired, or not responding will make them worry even more.

(6~ 6) 5⃣ Keep checking your temperature🌡️ and your blood oxygen saturation with an #oximeter. Overall, keep calm and stay positive. #Covid19 can be terrible, but stats are on your side: most people heal.👍
I hope none of you will ever use these tips. #BeSafe #StayHomeSaveLives
