The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) claims that 80 percent of Covid-19 patients in the country are experiencing very common symptoms such as fever, sore throat and cough. These are symptoms of a common infection in the respiratory system and these patients are recovering completely. Painkillers Along with this, caution is given that ibuprofen and other such pain relieving drugs can worsen the health and well being of the patient. They increase the risk of heart failure and kidney damage.
ICMR claims, in 80 percent of patients general symptoms
ICMR suggested, take medication like paracetamol only when needed. ICMR has termed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as lethal. The ICMR has responded to patients’ questions in a series called Frequently Asked Questions.
It said that no evidence has been found to increase the severity of Covid-19 from blood pressure drugs. These medicines are useful in preventing heart failure, help the heart to function and keep high blood pressure under control. Painkillers If the patient stops using them on his own, it can be fatal. His heart may be damaged.
Rejecting the possibility of early onset of corona infection in patients with chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and hypertension, the country’s largest medical research organization said that no such evidence has been revealed so far. However, there may be very serious cases of Covid-19 among the people affected by these diseases, so special care is needed for them. He made these claims based on the experiences of a group of medical experts and cardiologists.
Keep an eye on diabetes
ICMR said that if the diabetic patients do not keep the disease under control, then they are more likely to get various types of infections. They should pay special attention to their food habits and make exercise a part of their regular routine. Take painkillers regularly and check the sugar level continuously to keep it under control.
If a diabetic patient becomes infected
, his blood glucose level needs to be constantly monitored. Their medications, especially the amount of insulin, have to be rescheduled. Such people take food little by little during the day and pay special attention to consuming the appropriate amount of fluids.
Keep taking medicines for chronic diseases The
council said that even if there are symptoms of corona, then continue to take medicines for chronic diseases regularly as before, unless the doctors themselves tell them not to do so. If you are unable to meet the doctor in case of an epidemic, then it would be better to continue this medicine. Continue cholesterol-lowering medications as well.
Reduce risk
Smoking and alcohol consumption may increase the risk of Covid, so avoid these. Emphasize mental peace, increase physical activities such as exercise. Use salt and other things moderately in food. If non-vegetarians take food then they can continue it, but it has also been suggested to include more vegetables, fruits and fiber and protein in the diet.
If you get symptoms, then do it
if a person sees symptoms of corona, then they should get their examination done. Isolate yourself until the investigation report arrives. Do not leave the house at all. If the test comes positive then talk to the doctor and get complete treatment.
