Amberon:
When people say i get really surprised cuz I've never treated malaria in my life.

Where do you live.

If you have ever gotten sick, then i am sure malaria is likely part of the diagnosis.

Moreso , have to asked your parents?

I had similar experience too after treating malaria, cold nd catarrh..i completely lost my sense of smell not taste. At first i was scared but later said Bleep it., "We die here" currently i feel as strong and healthy as i could ever be nd my sense of smell have come back although not in full sha..

Carchoice:
This one shock me. So you all were eating "anyhow" food the past days and not been able to tell if it was sweet or not

Don't be shocked. I and my wife just got our senses of taste and smell back this week. Omo, if u see my fear. But anyhow I thank God for recovery.

Period007:

Don't u have small sense,cant he suspect someone of been a carrier again using symptoms?

People like you criticise the NPF for illegal arrest without proper scrutiny.

bamasite2:
It is now hitting us hard in Port Harcourt here o.......

We hope in God!

Yes.

czarr:
Yes.

I am at iwofe

Investnow2017:


When you say you had malaria, did you run a malaria test? I am just curious please.
.

Yes I did and it was positive

2 days ago my neighbor told me he lost sense of smell and taste of which I suspects Covid-19 immidiately
I believe that virus is not as deadly as portrayed

incogni2o:
I think its cos the average nigerian has gone tru a lot.

Thats why the virus doesnt seem to affect us that much.

An average Nigerian(African ) has treated Malaria more than ten times.

An average European hasn't even for once.

Chloroquine treats Malaria right ?

Most people don't know that. I once had two expatriate colleagues that got malaria in Nigeria and went to the UK on vacation. They both died there in the UK due to the malaria. But a third expatriate colleague that was treated here of the malaria in Nigeria survived. This whole experiences I hv been reading just brought this to mind, something about explaining why Nigerian's are surviving this massively.

For a week now I can't smell a thing and my thirst is zero...I was down with my malaria bf now and just recovered. I spray perfume in my palm and try to perceive it, but I perceive nothing.i mean not even a bit. Even onion I can't smell or thirst a thing. This has never ever happened to me bf. So this morning I perceived a little bit of my perfume and I was super excited

Lolzzz... So everybody in Naija had caught covid 19 and recovered?

I can't help but laugh, cos I also had same symptoms sometime last week... Anyways, I'm linking NCDC to this thread to come and have a field day by arresting y'all

I experienced same thing like 2 weeks ago. I sensed it was malaria then I had catarrh again. Knowing what's going on around town, I quickly bought drugs for catarrh and my regular malaria drug (LONART).
I sensed the drugs and the malaria fighting each other for full 24hours then it all went away.

My taste bud is somehow but I know the taste of all things I consume and they are still normal.

I had the intention of contacting NCDC if the bad feeling does not go away but I am better now.

Hmmm...you can just imagine the little mercies we take for granted...just smell ooo!!!

Most people would recover fully, some recover partially with some damage to their organs and some die outrightly.

Nigerians are made of very strong stuff. The sun in Lagos alone is enough to build strong immunity against coro

I guess you are amongst the lot that came here to brag that Corona virus cannot survive in Africa and Naija because of the weather ....now you've changed the narrative to strong immunity even while the death toll is increasing...keep deceiving yourselves.

One of my female friend is just recovering from it , when I called her today and she was like I shouldn't be scared I should come out it's not a death sentence that it is like malaria and that I will get it and recover....I was like " are you high on something"

Me that have not stepped out since the Corona virus made land fall, office people have been calling me to resume, i don't even have their time...all my system is still very much intact and i want it to remain that way.

2 weeks ago
I was having serious sore throat, serious headaches,, and high temperature especially at night. Sense of taste and smell were gone and mucus mixed with little blood draining down at the back of my throat,
I treated malaria and typhoid,,, and I often giggle with warm water and salt...
Coupled with Iribotor soup, orange, mangoes and a lot of exercise to sweat out..

I'm fine now and every thing is back to normal... But I was very scared...

Hello nairalanders....your lost of smell and taste is as a result of frequently wearing of noise masks....try use the surgical nose masks its more OK than those Ankara and home made noise masks.....and note please always wear noise mask in crowed places and not anywhere anytime please its unhealthical..I no nobody want die but fear kill people often in this situation the world is

my bros is having same problem right now.... no smell at all.... Taste sense seriously impaired.

Rodwave:


Covid19 doesn't infect people twice naa. Second wave is for those not infected already.

You got to know these how...this is the misinformation that keep derailing gullible folks, having gone through the experience doesn't make anyone immune, prevention and safeguarding oneself is the answer.

Corona virus is no chickenpox

hstar:

Exactly the way I felt, I've never felt such kind of sickness before but I recovered with self treatment

Please, What treatment did you use?

Please let the doctors and health practitioners come out and help us to confirm all these.
We have NCDC and health ministries officials on nairaland.
The presidential task force on covid 19 must address us on this lost of smell and taste symptoms.

LORDofODDS:
Well Last month I had shortness of breath and it lasted for like a week. It was very scary, I just followed online guidelines on how to sleep, seat and even breath. It was not funny though. The most scary part was those pop up ads in the guidelines that says call the health agency cus it might be Covid-19

U probably had axiety issue. Check u were bother or worried abt sometin.

Same here. My sense of smell is gradually coming back though.

I'm here o. It started with malaria last week..i took malaria tablets and I've recovered but I can't still perceive anything. My friend and I can't perceive anything for 5 days now

.it's lyk many of us have gotten dis tin but we don't know o. I can't smell a thing. I can't smell even hypo. Even when they flit our house with baygon I did not perceive it. It may be that many of us have this thing and we are recovering

hope you people are not exaggerating?all these symptoms are projecting to Covid 19,dry cough weakness and short breath.
May God heal our Land.

Hmmmmm

TrueHeart365:
Wow! Me too. It started with malaria symptoms, then I couldn't taste nor smell anything

I've recovered though.

But it's a scary experience

My sister and I had the same experience. I was this close to calling NCDC but was stopped. I isolated myself for days and took Black seed honey. We are doing fine now. What's scary is one mightve contracted and recovered from this deadly virus without realising it.

Op ur not alone , mine started with fever and later stopped and came up again with sour throat which later for days , i treated it with antibiotics and get better but the lost if test and smell is stil there till now anything thing I eat , drink is restless to me I can't even tell how any new perfume smell right now .
