[Experience] COVID-19 symptoms and how to deal with them (summary).

This article was written in Korean standards, so please refer to each country's standards for coping methods.

Also, this article was interpreted through Papago, so please note that it may not match some contexts.

I write in English because I want to inform not only Korea but also the world of the symptoms of COVID-19 that I experienced myself.

 

 

It's not a very good experience, but all of my family were tested positive for COVID-19 this week.

 

All conclusions are as follows. (Always summary!!)


[Adult's Corona Symptoms]: My wife and my symptoms (almost similar) / I am a tertiary vaccination, and my wife is a secondary vaccination.
1. Sore throat. (Throat stings)
2. Headache.
3. Eye pain.

4. I don't
5. High fever (over 38 degrees Celsius)
   * I've never seen my body temperature above 38 degrees in my life (in my memory
6. Muscle pain.

 

[Children's COVID-19 symptoms]
1. High fever (over 39 degrees): It doesn't fall off easily... When taking antipyretics, it falls off a little and goes up again...
  * It doesn't work well even if you keep on massaging with lukewarm water.
2. No strength (as if it's linked to high fever)
3. Cough, phlegm, sore throat. (It hurts when swallowing saliva and water)

 

Most of the above symptoms were similar when I searched on the Internet.
Moreover, with the confirmation of COVID-19, my younger brother's family was also confirmed with COVID-19, and when I talked to each other about the symptoms, they were almost the same.
The fever was so low that the younger brother's family went to the emergency room and got a fever reducer injection.


[How to deal with it and know-how]
1. First, call the emergency contact number given by the public health center in advance (how to do it, procedures, etc.).
2. Get a prescription for symptoms.
   * My family was all confirmed, so the health center staff brought me the medicine.
3. Wear a mask, ventilate, etc. if there is a confirmed patient in the family.
   * All of my family members were confirmed, so I gave up... (Only 2 out of 4 younger brothers were confirmed, so they were completely separated.))
4. Pack up things for hospitalization just in case.

High fever seems to be scary for any disease.
Adults can do anything with lukewarm water, but kids hate it.

Even if I barely managed to massage my whole body (especially, my hands and feet are cold), and hug it, the fever from COVID-19 really didn't go down.

Most of the health center staff said that children didn't fall well, but they all fell three to four days later, but it's not easy after experiencing it.

I hope that our Lynn gets well soon! You can do it!

There are more than 100,000 confirmed cases a day, and the Omicron mutation virus will pass as easily as a cold, but
When I was confirmed, it seems to be at the level of the flu.(I've never had the flu before, but my wife says so.)

I heard that my wife was really sick when she caught the flu in the past, but this is also painful...
It may vary from person to person, but it's not bad to be careful.

Always wear a mask, wash your hands, ventilate, and keep your distance. It's better!

I hope this message will help someone today...
