Put a handful of ginger and garlic in a clean water and boil till 100 degree Celsius.
Take Vit-C morning, afternoon and night.
Take avocado pears, mango, cucumber and water melon to remain hydrated.
Within 2-3 days, I bet my scortrum and over 300 million spermatozoa per ejaculation, that you will be totally healed.

I had such sypmtoms two weeks ago, I had fever. I treated malaria typhoid two times in two weeks. but am better now. so many persons complain of sickness this days and when they run test it turns to be malaria. Someone jokingly said it might be as a result of Yellow fever vaccine taking some months back.

These are symptoms of covid-19. These pose no threat as you're asymptomatic. Just take surplus vitamin c, fruits and ginger tea. If your health deteriorate further, please contact the NCDC but right now, you've got nothing to panic about.

Surplus does mean you should turn it to food oo. Please be guided as you take it. Too much vitamin C in the body can cause kidney stones and diarrhoea. Please be guided. Me I take 1000mg everyday but somebody told me that it is too much. But I still take it like that because if it was too much, then it should have come in smaller mg.

Isolate and tell all the persons you have come in contact with to isolate asap
Re: I Can't Smell Or Taste Anything, Please Help by tbabaXtra: 9:31pm On Jun 07, 2020
I will advice you as someone who just survived covid19. Different bodies react differently to coronavirus. While some will be asymptomatic, some will have symptoms. You can never tell who will die from it and who will survive.The best thing you can do for yourself is to go for a test so that you can get the best care if positive- don't forget some of the drugs given at the isolation centres cannot be bought over the counter.

We now have so many test centres around. If you are in Lagos, you can go to LUTH idi-araba, IDH yaba or any other centres. I prefer IDH yaba because it is well organised. When you get there, ensure you maintain a physical distance. In case you prefer to be invited rather than just going there, you can register online at
nimr.covid.com.ng.

Ordinary it should take about 48 hrs to 72hrs to get your result but because of the volume of test they now do, it sometimes takes more days. Unfortunately, without your test result, you might never be attended to if your health should deteriorate. That's why early testing is important. Some will say "God forbid" and will advise you not to go for a test, please don't listen. Health is wealth.There's usually no prior warning before a sudden health deterioration in someone with COVID19.

Lives are mostly lost between day 7 to day 10. if you can survive this period, you might likely survive it. A lot of people are surviving without going to the hospital but unfortunately we don't know who will fall by the wayside.

You might need to be taking paracetamol, zinc, vitamin c pending when your result will come out because most hospital wont agree to treat you except you have your result.

Wish you good luck.

Our Government don't know that this Covid19 shit has entered the system deeper than the figure they are publicizing.. That's one of the symptoms of Corona,,, Just of present, a neighbor of mine has that symptoms,headache,fever and chills with his whole family. I have to avoid them cos a friend that visited them also has that but he isolated himself till he got better after two weeks which I have to be the one get him food and other tins he needed like drugs and other herbal stuffs which I always drop in front of his room... Any bastard that come out shout that no Covid 19 in Nigeria.. My prayer is that the tin should catch you and your household,that is when you will know that it is REAL
I had all those symtops too but I'm better now except for my sense of smell and taste that is taking long to come back.

I experience same thing few days back. Many people in my area had same symptom. In my compound, almost everybody had this symptom including children, landlord asked everybody to use anti malaria. Thank God nobody died, no serious case. we all fine

I used Lonart Anti malaria medicine, vitamin C, and black seed oil, and now no more loss of appetite, taste or smell

Let's not deceive ourselves. Millions of people are already infected in Nigeria. Many will even recover without even knowing they were infected. Many Africans av this natural immunity somehow though

Mine started last week but my case is that i have been perceiving an odd smell and this smell make me not to perceive other things. The smell is strange and i also cannot taste. Pls I am really concerned.

Although i had cough and catarrh 2 weeks back,then i used ACT tab, coflin and amoxicillin capsule. It was after then I noticed this unusual smell and lost of taste. What does this mean

go to a chemist
buy contact or artifect (they are same thing, for nasal congestion),
vitC,
ciprotab 500mg (for infections).
you will be fine.

For the past two weeks,I have been reading posts of people complaining of loosing their ability to smell or taste. I read roughly 10 per day. What is really happening?
If this is Covid 1-9 birus, then I think the virus is spreading faster than we eat but getting weaker as it spreads.
I once proposed that they should expose as many people as possible to it. As people recover, we decrease it's virulence. After all, we are living with a deadlier Hepatitis, HIV and Malaria which spread without respect for nose masks.


This would be fine if only we knew the lasting impacts of Covid19.

There are reports of as many as 1 in 4 of critical cases having serious blood coagulation without any pointers.

Even if you heal from it , how sure are you that 10years from now they won't find out that all those who had Corona are now susceptible to Cancer , sudden death or some dibilitating illness ? You want to risk the lives of millions to an unknown?


In medicine you try as much possible to keep things in the territory you know. Letting millions catch this aside the overrun of health centers is a dumb idea.

You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Just ensure you eat nutritious meal full of fruits and vegetables. Get VIT C 1000mg and Zinc 100mg taken twice daily. You'll be fine. Stay away from your family for now. Trust me,you'll be fine
