I am suspected to have coronavirus
On Friday, I woke up dizzy and weak. As usual, I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and went to prepare breakfast for my brother as he leaves at 9 AM. I felt I have not much energy to cook. It was already 9 AM and the breakfast was not ready yet. My brother asked me to get the breakfast dropped at his shop by somebody. I said, ‘OK’.
I noticed that my body temperature was increasing and I had no more appetite. I lied down and understood that I was having a fever. I still cooked the dinner, we all had and slept. I thought I may be exhausted due to continuous work. So, I decided to sleep early and rest well.
The next day I had a high fever that I couldn’t wake up. I told my brother and he got me the medicine but nothing happened. My fever was not going down. We do not have a good hospital in our area so we are scared to show ourselves there. For any medical help, we need to travel 250 km down the hill to get medical attention.
So we thought to check if paracetamol works for two days. 1st day I took only 325 mg of Paracetamol and the second day I took 650 mg of Paracetamol due to high fever. With 650 mg, I got a little better for some hours.
Today was an unfortunate start of the day. Our area has been seized due to the corona case near my house. Although, I never went out and met them, I was suspected to have coronavirus. My brother guarded me that he will take care of me and get tested. We were sure that I do not have a coronavirus but a normal viral fever.
So, in the evening, me and my brother went to the doctor for a diagnosis. Fortunately, doctor said “you have normal viral due to the weather change and too much work”.
We were relieved to hear that and came back home. I am taking my medicines on time and proper rest.
Hoping to get well sooner, maybe tomorrow.
Thank you for reading. I wrote this story because I was scared that I might have to go under quarantine at the hospital. I pray to God for the people, who are suffering it for real, get the power to handle it, and get well soon.
