Corona virus: What to do if you feel infected, where to go?
Due to the coronavirus epidemic, people are naturally panicked whenever they have a couple of symptoms like fever and dry cough or body aches.
And in the face of overcrowding and lack of services in public and private hospitals, many are skeptical about whether they will seek medical help.
But what if you find that you have multiple symptoms of coronavirus infection?
Be different in the beginning
The first symptoms of coronavirus infection are fever and dry cough. There may also be muscle aches, sore throats, loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, occasional upset stomach and nausea or vomiting.
Doctors think that if one sees more than one such symptom in oneself, one should go for 'self-isolation' at the beginning, that is, completely separate oneself from the rest of the family members.
This will prevent the spread of the virus in the family, workplace, and surrounding people.
If possible, stay in a separate room, where you do not have to go out for breakfast and other work. Family members will leave food and other necessities and medicines outside the door of the house.
If this is not possible, keep at least six feet away from others and wear a mask.
Samples should be tested
However, doctors say that now, if one or more symptoms are usually seen with fever, it is necessary to take Kovid-19, that is, to test the sample and arrange treatment.
Samples can be tested in both public and private sectors. Coronavirus samples are currently being tested in 72 government laboratories in Bangladesh. 32 of them are in Dhaka.
In that case, call the hotline number provided by the Department of Health, or contact the local civil surgeon or city corporation.
Gargle and steam hot water
You may have allowed the sample to be tested, but you have to do some work every day by not sitting down until his report comes.
The first is to gargle hot water, and doctors say to gargle at least four to six times a day.
Also take hot water steam several times a day.
Eat nutritious food
Doctors think that at this time eat food that increases immunity.
Therefore, eat more protein foods. Can eat soup. Eat foods rich in vitamin C.
Consult a doctor
Consult a doctor at this time. In this case, the experts are forbidding to take the medicine after seeing the prescription shared by someone through social media.

Keep an eye on the level of oxygen in the body
At this time, the fluctuations in the level of oxygen in the body should be taken into account. A small medical device called a pulse oximeter can be kept close at hand.
The heart rate and the level of oxygen in the body can be measured by touching the head of the finger.
Normally, 95 to 100 percent oxygen level is considered normal in a pulse oximeter.
This means that when the level of oxygen is less than 95 percent, there is a lack of oxygen in the body, which can lead to shortness of breath, headache, chest pain, or increased heart rate.
