It was only after I became positive that I discovered that high fever is not scary. What is scary is the various adverse symptoms after high fever! I hope everyone can prepare early. Let me talk about my personal experience below.
Before I became positive, many compatriots who were already positive were saying how hard it is to have a high fever, which makes all the cells in the body hot and makes the whole body sore and weak. Later, after I became positive, I discovered that the so-called high fever can actually be solved with antipyretics such as the popular ibuprofen . But the various adverse symptoms that followed left me feeling helpless.
Of course, I know there will be friends who will say: "You said it very easily. A few pills of ibuprofen can indeed solve the high fever. But the problem is that we can't buy medicine at all, so we can only carry it by ourselves. Can you try carrying it? You will know how difficult it is!"
In fact, of course I know how difficult and painful it is to carry it, because I didn't take antipyretics at the beginning. I didn’t have ibuprofen at home, only other medicines with antipyretic properties, so I didn’t dare to take them blindly, so I had to carry them first. But I couldn't bear it after one night, it was too torturous.
Can you imagine it? High fever comes at any time! My body temperature soared from 37.6 degrees to 39.1 degrees in just over 20 minutes. The sudden high fever overwhelmed me. Under the high fever, I felt dizzy and had an extreme sense of vomiting in my heart, followed by chills from time to time. These symptoms were hammering my body and my spirit. I feel like my whole body and lungs are boiling hot, like lava being tossed around!
I didn’t have a trace of sleep all night long, and all my sleepiness was consumed by the high fever! But I was mentally exhausted, because the high fever made me severely dehydrated, and I didn't even have the strength to scream "ouch ouch".
The next morning, I really couldn’t stand it any longer, so I found the only other types of antipyretics I had at home. I didn’t care if it would be okay if I took them, but I took them anyway. Fortunately, after half an hour, the medicine really worked to reduce the fever. My body temperature slowly dropped, and I temporarily enjoyed a slightly more comfortable time. I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, and I felt so proud that I didn't have to worry about the fever for two more days. As long as I got over the high fever, other symptoms would be a piece of cake.
But I never expected that although I got over the high fever, other symptoms made me miserable and tossing and turning. After the high fever, there was a very violent cough. The cough made my whole body shake and my head buzzed, as if I wanted to cough up my lungs! What's even more frightening is that if this severe cough lasts for a long time, the fever will continue. So I have to endure the high fever while coughing violently. I can't stop being tortured by the double torture.
When I had a high fever, I could take antipyretics to relieve it, but the cough was very troublesome and difficult to deal with. Even if I poured all the cough syrup I bought into my stomach, it didn’t get better. As a result, the cough had not subsided, and the feeling of vomiting in the chest became more obvious. However, I obviously wanted to vomit but could not. I had no appetite at all, and my appetite was completely destroyed. It can be said that in the past few days, except for soaking green onion and ginger slices in boiling water and eating some stewed pear, I basically didn’t eat any rice.
So everyone knows, right? Compared with high fever, the discomfort symptoms that follow are actually the most difficult to solve. Therefore, everyone must be mentally prepared for this. If possible, you can go to your regular clinic or hospital to prescribe some medicine for the symptoms. Some of the medicines we stock up on our own are basically ineffective in treating these symptoms.
Let me summarize the general process after becoming positive:
The symptoms are mild on the first day
. You may feel a slight dryness, sore throat, and general fatigue.
began to have fever symptoms on the second day, and some young people had a high fever of around 39 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the discomfort in the throat worsened.
Day 3
The day with the most severe symptoms. High fever above 39 degrees Celsius, body aches and fatigue, and sore throat getting worse.
On the fourth day
the peak body temperature began to decrease. Many people's body temperature drops to normal from this day, and they no longer have fever, but they still have sore throat and itchy throat. Some people started to cry. cough.
On the fifth day
the body temperature basically returned to normal, but nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, cough, and body fluids still existed.
On the 6th day,
no longer had fever. Symptoms such as cough and runny nose worsen. In the early stage, the virus caused damage to the respiratory mucous membrane, and the human body excreted necrotic cells through runny nose and coughing.
On the 7th day
all symptoms began to improve significantly. Nucleic acid is very likely to turn negative.
Finally, I still want to say that Omicron is actually not that scary. In addition to high fever, each of us will also have different symptoms, because it has multiple subtypes and mutant strains, each of which The symptoms brought by the virus strains are slightly different. For example, the subtype mutant strain BA.2 will not damage your sense of taste, but it will make you more dizzy and weak; while the subtype mutant strain BA.5 will make your throat as painful as swallowing a knife.
So if you are infected and your symptoms are different from others, don’t be anxious and panic. This is actually a normal phenomenon. As long as the symptoms are within your tolerance, just prescribe the right medicine. If there is really no medicine, then rely on your own immunity to defeat the virus! The immune system is the most powerful. Doctors say that drugs only play a supporting role. It is our own immune system and immune cells that kill viruses.
Finally, what I want to say is that everyone must still get vaccinated. You can see that the mild symptoms of the new coronavirus have already made us positive people miserable, and the severe ones can be imagined. Therefore, in order to reduce the probability of severe illness, vaccination with the new crown vaccine is definitely the most effective method at present.
The Spring Festival will be celebrated in a while. During the Spring Festival every year, the population mobility is the highest. The probability of Yang is greater and there will be more people with Yang! Therefore, friends who are not infected must protect themselves. If you are accidentally infected, don't be afraid. As long as it is within the range we can bear, I believe we will all be able to get through it.
I hope everyone can be happy and safe during the period of recovery after the Spring Festival.
