The entire world is reeling under the Covid-19 pandemic. Lots of people who tested positive for COVID-19 are now sharing their experiences of going through the tribulation.
Jitendra Emmani, CEO and Founder of Picxy.com, a new age stock photo company, for South Asia and South East Asia, took to twitter to share his COVID-19 experience. He started by saying that earlier this month his parents tested positive for COVID-19 and later he too contracted the infection.
He continued, that after three weeks, they all tested negative for COVID-19 and completely got recovered from it. On the very first day of getting the symptoms, they got tested themselves and immediately started taking medications that included vitamins and anti-virals.
Based on what he experienced during his COVID-19 nightmare, the only mantra he wants to give to everyone is “Early detection = Early Medication = Better Recovery Rate”, which means, the early you test and start the medication the quicker will be the recovery.
He says in most of the cases that patients start late medication are the ones who need hospitalization later on. So early testing should be done as soon as you get the first symptom and start the possible medications or home remedies at home isolation.
He further says that it’s not just about a regular sore throat or a random seasonal fever that you may get through rain or may experience in your normal lives. However testing is the only way to confirm it, so it is recommended to get tested if you see any symptom.
Earlier this month my parents tested positive for COVID-19, later I tested positive too while taking care of them.
3 weeks later we are all tested negative and completely recovered. 🙏🏼

He shared some important tips based on his experience which you can have sitting at home. He said, maintaining a proper diet is the key part of the recovery process. Diet plays a key role in both situations: while fighting the virus and during the post recovery.
- He recommends to have high protein and a high vitamin diet along with proper food habit even after your recover from the infection.
- He suggests that every Covid survivor should have at least 3 eggs a day, and have meat in almost all the meals.
- People who are in home isolation, he suggests to get a D dimer test done to make sure that the blood vitals are normal.
- He also suggests to get a CT scan done based on the doctor’s prescription to see the extent of damage in the lung caused by the infection.
- Make sure that you have a pulse oximeter at home and keep on checking the SPO2 level in your body, so that you can seek immediate medical attention if it drops below the level of 95, he says.
- He also suggests Covid-19 patients to walk around a bit, even if that’s confined to area in your home.
He has urged everyone to act as fast as possible after you notice any symptom, and take a test immediately.
“So, this is not something our amazing doctors and modern medicine can’t fight. We are in this together. Take care,” Jitendra concluded.
Act fast if you see any symptoms.
Test immediately and start medication.
This is key to recovery. My dad is 61 and diabetic. He recovered faster than me !
This is not something our amazing doctors and modern medicine can’t fight.
