Have you ever had a corona infection? Learn from doctor what to do and what not to do?
The Omicron variant of the Corona is wreaking havoc all over the world, including India. More than 1.5 lakh cases of corona have been reported in the country every day for the last three days. In the last 24 hours, 1.68 lakh new cases have been registered, while the number of Omicron cases has also increased to more than four thousand. The good news for now is that most Omicron infected people have only mild symptoms.
There is no need to be afraid of Omicron, health experts say, however that does not mean that you should stop taking precautions. Omicron can also cause serious infections in some situations.
Doctors say that although most Omicron infections are cured with simple treatment, the infection can also cause some complications in people who already have comorbidities or a weakened immune system. In a country where transition cases are on the rise, everyone needs to be protected. If you have been infected with Omicron in the meantime, tell your doctor what you should and shouldn't do.
Don't panic if you get an Omicron infection
Talking to Amar Ujala, senior intensive care physician Dr. The Omicron is more contagious than the Delta variant of the Corona, but is less likely to cause serious complications, says Vivek Sahay. Most infected people are only seeing mild symptoms, so don't panic if you get an infection. It can be easily fixed by taking care of just a few things. But in the midst of all this, it is also worth keeping in mind that depending on the state of health, Omicron can cause serious problems for some people, so it should not be taken lightly.
How are infected people treated?
Dr. Vivek Sahay explains that with the exception of a few, most Omicron infected people do not need any specific treatment like Delta, which is definitely a relief. Most patients admitted to the hospital are given only multivitamins and paracetamol. Due to which the symptoms of most of the people are decreasing, most of the patients are also recovering in 5-7 days. Yes, those who are already suffering from serious illnesses definitely need special attention.
What to do if you get an Omicron infection?
Dr. If you suspect any symptoms of corona, immediately isolate yourself and get tested, says Vivek. If the infection is confirmed, take any medicine only on the advice of a doctor, do not take any medicine yourself. Wear a mask at home during the infection and pay special attention to eating and drinking. To recover quickly from infection, consume more protein and vitamin C-D items, and drink plenty of water. Most importantly, don't panic, Omicron can be easily tackled.
What should an infected person not do?
Dr. Vivek says, if you have been confirmed infected, don't hide it, report it to people you have contacted in the past so that they too can test themselves as a precaution. Just because Omicron's symptoms are often said to be mild and less severe, does not mean that they cannot cause problems. Don't be careless with your health. Do not neglect the rules of isolation, do not go out of the house and also keep distance from the people in the house. With a little care we can win this battle.
