5 in my immediate family got infected 2 weeks ago, including my mother, and have completed 15 days of home isolation today. Alhamdulilah

Though they don't have symptoms anymore but retests will be done tomorrow IA

3 had mild symptoms, 2 had severe
1/5

3 siblings had tastelessness & fever for 2-3 days.

Mother had fever initially, started coughing after 2 days.. Lost appetite resulting into weakness/fatigue.. & cough got worse from day 5-8. Then started showing improvement

Kept consulting Doctors on phone X-Ray every 48 hours

36 yo brother had the most severe symptoms. Though he tested negative for both COVID-19 & Typhoid (twice) but his condition was the most critical in family.
Fever was consistently between 100-104..cough kept getting worse and developed shortness of breath symptoms after Day 7.

On Day 9 Oxygen level dropped to 89-90, Chest X-Ray was also showing serious issues + shortness of breath! Then we consulted a pulmonologist who prescribed few more medicines.

On Day 10 he started showing improvement and today he is 80-90% recovered MashaAllah. 4/5

Some suggestions based on personal experience:
- Self-isolate & get yourself tested if you develop symptoms
- KEEP CONSULTING Doctors (DON'T SELF MEDICATE)
- If symptoms are severe, Check oxygen level & Chest X-Ray
- KEEP CONSULTING Doctors
- Hospitalise if your Doctor advise 5/5

P.S: Symptoms can be different in different patients so act accordingly and as per your Doctors' advice.
They didn't have any comorbidity.

They all tested negative in retests Alhamdulillah.

Thanks to everyone for their support and prayers throughout this difficult time. JazakAllah!!
