The content is divided into three paragraphs: the tranquility before the storm (timeline and symptoms), the final diagnosis (a short story of revisiting life), and practical recovery methods.

Calm before the storm

Health is not valued till sickness comes?

7/18 Family entertainment object diagnosed

The family members I came in contact with also felt itchy throats when they were notified of his colleague's diagnosis.

Although I am asymptomatic, I am self- isolating from my parents after returning home.

7/19

The contacted family members were diagnosed, and the parents were fine.

7/20

Sore throat and fatigue.

7/21

Coughing can cause retching and exhaustion.

In the evening, two different brands of nasopharyngeal quick screen and one brand of saliva quick screen were used, all of which were negative.

7/22

When you wake up, the Eustachian tube is swollen or even earache, hoarseness, headache, runny nose, and dizziness.

For the accuracy of rapid saliva screening, 30 minutes after getting up and brushing teeth, there is no diet, let alone any medicine, but wait time for testing.

14:30 Chills

15:00 Fever 38.2 degrees

15:30 Take Bailinin 500mg

16:30 Body temperature 37.7 degrees

17:00 Body temperature 37.2 degrees

17:30 Coughing more and more frequently

My father expressed doubts about my quick screening technique and insisted on using the nasopharyngeal quick screening for the third time, but I refused.

I used to be a medical staff, and I followed the instructions in the instructions. I think it will be negative after several screenings. If the amount of virus is not enough, it is not enough.

The "Qing Guan No. 1" sold by the Chinese medicine clinic can only be paid by health insurance after the diagnosis is confirmed. I didn't have a diagnosis, but my parents didn't want to waste time and add variables, so I bought it at their own expense.

finally diagnosed

I'm either taking medicine or waiting for the time to take medicine.

7/23 day 0 please don't torture the patient

I used to work on the front line of the hospital and rotated between different departments. I saw that many elderly people who were about to pass away continued to receive examinations and even treatment that would cause them discomfort. At that time, I felt that such an excessive approach has long lost the essence of medical treatment. .

Medical treatment is to relieve symptoms and help patients. Today, Extended Life Care may very well be the suffering of patients who cannot speak for themselves.

Originally, I had no discomfort in the nasopharynx and oropharynx, but under the stimulation of the quick screening, the sensitive mucous membranes made me burst into tears, and I couldn’t avoid countless curses in my heart, until I didn’t know who I was scolding. I wish we could screen out the diagnosis as soon as possible and end this nightmare.

In the afternoon, I finally got a very shallow second line with a quick saliva sieve, which I thought was a hallucination several times.

7/24 Day 1 "Why Me?"

When learning to fly, a humorous instructor once said: "We usually don't have only one system of aircraft, like this autopilot, there are three. One is broken, and there are two more. Students, there are Haven't thought about what to do if all three sets are broken?"

Suddenly, the students under the podium fell silent.

The instructor said, "Two words."

The audience remained silent.

The instructor announced the answer: "At this time, you can only think 'Why me?'"

When I am sick, I want to blame the origin of the disease, I want to blame my colleagues who have infected my family, and I try to soothe my pain through hatred. Going around in circles, in the end, I can only think about what I have done wrong and have to bear this pain.

7/25 Day 2 Abnormality is a signal from the body

A counselor friend told me: “The body often sends out signs of overwhelm, ranging from weakness to cancer. People who value the task at hand often sacrifice their health in exchange for achievement. The seemingly short-term equivalent exchange is actually possible. cause irreversible long-term problems.”

I re-looked at the infection, although I knew I would get better, but I didn't know when.

What if I contract a disease that won't get better?

I suddenly understood that health should not be an option to be sacrificed for a short time, but a necessity to love myself well .

7/26 Day 3 What the school guardian taught me

During my three years of high school, I volunteered in the health room for two years.

One afternoon, the school nurse (senior nurse) was making the beds and cleaning the health room. I watched, surreptitiously wondering if she also had compulsive behavior or perfectionism.

At this time, the school nurse said: "After this sheet is flattened, you must think from the patient's point of view. The space they see must be clean and tidy, so that it will be better quickly. If you see any mess, just tidy it up, I'll leave it to you here. ”

With Bi, leave me alone, in the empty resting space, sprinkle and sweep.

Back to the present, I found ants in the room at noon, and a power of anger emerged spontaneously. I used cleaning supplies such as vacuum cleaners to clean the bottom of the room upside down. When I looked back, the room was tidy up, my body sweated, and The strength to write this article in a clean and tidy room.

Practical Rehabilitation

There is a lot of information on the Internet such as testing and drugs. Here are a few methods that I think will improve faster.

open windows for ventilation

Blowing air-conditioning in a confined space for a long time will only make the sick air circulate indoors. Pick a refreshing morning or afternoon, turn on the fans and windows, leave a little sweat, then take a shower and come back to blow the air-conditioning, it will be much better.

keep the environment clean

Two days before the infection, I was powerless and had no time to tidy up my room. I really lived in a pile of medicines and messy bottles.

Even if it's just a matter of tidying up, you'll feel your body slowly getting better when you finish it little by little.

Hydration and Supplements

If you take Chinese and Western medicine together, you must pay attention to the time interval of at least one hour!

In the rest of the time, add water, supplements (such as B complex, vitamin C, amino acids, etc.), vegetables and fruits.

For general drinks, annealed ingredients such as mung bean water, coconut water, and fairy grass tea are recommended, just like an oasis in the desert!

sleep

Allergy medicines often contain ingredients for drowsiness, which is exactly what I like!

You can't do anything when you're awake anyway, so when you want to sleep, let's take advantage of the power of medicine!

keep it as positive as possible

When I was a child, I had a bad cold, and my parents always took care of me, but now I close the door or run away when I hear my footsteps. The strong contrast, coupled with the fact that I really want someone to help me scrape or massage me, is really annoying.

Even so, trust that everything will be fine. Keeping positive is the limit, so it's better to be positive.
