Hey all, just wanted to make a thread about the best ways we have heard to fight off covid-19 once you have it, or may think you are getting it. Some know that i am 90% sure i have it. I did not officially test but my girl works at a hospital and as an elementary school teacher i have already been exposed to most flu strains. Since March 25th i have had constant diarreah, acid reflux, shortness of breath and a load of congestion. The misinformation regarding this virus has been the worst part about finding OTC drugs and supps to help fight this. So far i have heard, and this is from research and word of mouth.
The Good
1. Vitamin c supps (i use emergen-cee 1000 mg)
2. Tylenol - for pain relief and lower fever
3. Mucinex Chest D- Clear out the throat
4. Gargle salt water
5. elduberry- boost your immune
6. Zinc
7. Hot Steam
8. Stop Anxiety calming rub/meds calm your mind. A stressed out person will have worse immune
9.Tumeric- boost immune, fight inflamation and joint pain
10. Oregeno Oil- anti-oxidant boost
11. Drink Hot Liquids- Helps push the clogged virus and mucus down throat and into your stomach where stomach acids will kill virus.
12. Hot coffee- Inflammation and mood/energy
13. Boil water self steam with towel wrap- this worked for me as a temporary relief to my breathing.
The MIGHT BE bad
1. Advil/ ibuprofen- Ace inhibiting is rumored to make virus stronger
2.Cold water- Drinking icy or cold water bad for your throat and lungs
3. Ignoring signals such as cold shivers/ dry cough etc.- dont ignore! Get on top of this early!
4. Smokers Stop!- I only smoke trees (was doing bong rips only as of now for less smoke) and i stopped yesterday totally when i noticed i definitely felt more constriction)
Feel free anyone to add. The worst part for me is that I feel mentally unstable and never sure if i should rest or hit the ER. My main concern is my breathing. I f i had to describe it it would be the fact that i have to THINK ABOUT BREATHING right now instead of just breathing and walking around like normal. Im isolated and have spent ,most of the day napping. I hope that our conversations about this will help not only physically but also releive some mental anguish as i have found comfort from this board knowing im not the only one sick. Lets help each other beat this shyt.
