What to do if you get COVID-19

We all have heard plenty of times what we should do to prevent getting infected with coronavirus. Today, I would like to address some simple things you should do to be more prepared in case you do get infected with COVID-19.  

These are my recommendations:

Things you should have at home:

•         Paracetamol to help you manage temperature.   
•         Cough syrup 
•         Honey and lemon (works just as well as cough syrup and it soothes the respiratory tract)
•         Chest rub (Try to find one that doesn’t have any petroleum ingredients in it).
•         Humidifier 
•         Meals prepped up in advance in the freezer

Things you should in case you get symptoms that could mean you may have been infected with the virus:

•         Isolate yourself and quarantine for at least 2 weeks,
•         Sanitize your bed linen and clothes regularly.
•         Wear gloves and a mask.
•         Hydrate yourself constantly. Ginger Lemonade is a great way to do it.
•         Eat warm honey with lemon at least twice a day.
•         Rest a lot.
•         Use a humidifier with some eucalyptus in it. 
•         Manage your fever with paracetamol.
•         Eat lots of foods with a high pH like: lemons, limes, avocados, garlic, pineapple, papaya, mango, tangerine, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, watermelon and dandelion. This will disturb the living environment of the virus.
•         Do not go to the hospital unless you have trouble breathing or you have a fever higher than 102.

Hope this helps!

In health and light,
