i tio covid in 2019. never see doctor. suffered for 2 months. kept coughing and had stubborn high fever at 39-40 for weeks. had to use ice packs because panadol & ibuprofen didn't work well enough. nearly died and after i recovered naturally without a doctor, the world announced it was covid and global shut down began

You didn't get too sick. Just mild symptoms. You did not "nearly die". You didn't even require supplemental oxygen much less intubation and assisted ventilation, BiPAP,

You were not one of the unlucky ones. Majority of people who caught covid got it mild

Better check for TB

You suffered greatly with the pain, malaise, weakness, myalgia, pyrexia and dyspnea.

But you were not close to death. Good call not to go to the hospital. No point. You would have been sent home anyway and told to take Paracetamol and Ibuprofen drink fluids keep warm etc.

 

[Teyemittisi]

Heard the latest comes with cough and body aches including and especially calf muscles

There are things the doctors can do. But must be sick enough. Eg oxygen sat below 90% need oxygen . Or CO2 retention need to ventilate lungs to blow off CO2. Diuretics to reduce pulmonary edema if present. Correct acid base imbalance.

For your case nothing much to do besides try to relieve minor symptoms which you managed on your own well enough.

for me, the top priority is not having a medical record. i don't have any hospitalization records, and i only use clinics where doctors don't key patient data into a computer system. a hospitalization record is like a criminal record for me. that's the main motivation. i had thought about O2 supplementation before, but i didn't have the equipment at home. i didn't have pulmonary edema. just labored breathing. every breath took conscious effort and i had to force feed myself to have sufficient energy to go out and meet people

 

[deathan9el]

whack on lozenges non-stop
but it could be of somethin' else, if the cough still persists for more than a month

just saying

Did you get hypoxic brain damage? And myocardial ischemia or subclinical infarct? Hypoxic liver ischemia? Renal ischemia ?

You just suffered a lot of the usual viral symptoms of malaise myalgia anorexia pyrexia

You rather die with no criminal record I guess.

I have a good guess why

 

[J050615]

Go eat durian instant recovery

nah i went running frequently after recovery, and my urine production is normal. no swollen abdomen either. heart wise i did take some aspirin. overall i felt i recovered 100%. i have a stethoscope at home to check my lung and heart sounds

i won't ever visit a doctor who uses IT. that's right

Your covid was mild. Mild from the medical complications perspective. Of course not mild to you symptoms wise. (Must have empathy for you).

No long term sequelae. You didn't even have any long covid. You are not one of the unlucky ones.

You can self medicate Sure you are pretty good at sourcing drugs

 

[PCguy]

A lot of possibilities

1. Lung Cancer
2. Pneumonia
3. Tuberculosis
4. Whopping Cough
5. GERD

Better see a doctor or prepare your will.
