am healthy, I don't have any headache nor malaria but I don't just know what is going on


Doctors in the house please help


Do you observe that everyone around us is sucking of malaria turn by turn?

This same thing happen to me last month, I was sick of malaria for 2 days, the next thing I observed was that I cant perceive smell, odour, I can't feel taste.

But I am fine now, I can perceive smell, odour and taste. You will be fine after 2weeks.

Thanks

For the past five days now I've been unable to perceive smell too and I've not even done anything about it, I saw many also complaining about it on several groups on Facebook too, may God help us all.

Update:
That's not Corona,

It's a type of malaria spreading around now, stop taking cold water, always stay in a hot place and buy alot of anti malaria drugs. I promise you before a week you'll get your taste back. Happened to me and 7 of my friends we got scared and thought we gonna die but the chemist assured us it's minor.

wow I have it too for the past 5days and before it started I felt a little feverish and I've not even done anything about it tomorrow I'll definitely go to the pharmacy store.

I will not insult you, but when next you are quoting someone be diplomatic about it, I had only catarh before I couldn't perceive or taste and my sense of tasting came back aftwards
and my girl contracted the catarh from me, no other symptoms thats suggest it's covid 19,

I was fine but couldn't smell nor taste, the fact is when someone has catarh it is often common you cant smell nor taste but phobia of covid 19 will keep you unrest as it has been correlated to having the virus. Since the virus broke out, having headache or common cold and fever will keep u up at night, thinking it's covid 19, but those are normal sickness we experience even before now.

If you said loss of taste alone i would agree it might be just some random illness. But to have both at the same time and for two weeks is a big deal. If you said 3 days i could assume it was common cold or any other basic respiratory tract infection. Just don't assume it is Malaria. Self isolate and take precautions.

Happened to me two weeks ago. I lost sense of smell and taste for almost two weeks. I had slight fever and treated typhoid and malaria..and my health felt better, but the sense of smell and taste was still lost

Right now, I am very OK. I can smell and taste everything.

I only stayed away from cold drinks

it happened to me, a med practioner recommended I chew ginger, also boil the ginger and drink as tea, stop taking cold drinks and water for now, take vitamin c and fruits, exercise and take feroglobin. Also reduce the use of face mask when not in a crowded place. I felt better after 2days.

Sorry for the feeling.
I'm not a doc but I know what's wrong with you. It's a new form of malaria that developed from a specie of Mosquito.
I can't explain further.

CURE:
Buy chloroquine up to 4 doses. That should be 36 tablets.

Take 8 daily. (4 in the morning, 4 at night)
Take it for 4 days.
Your taste and smell sense will restore.

Please don't buy the CARD chloroquine. Buy the counting ones.

Please come back to NL and share your testimony for others to learn.

I thank God for your life.

The shiit almost killed me during this lockdown.

I kept feeling empty from the inside, would eat, and still feel as if I am starving. Lost all sense of smell and taste. Whatever the smell and taste of water I got would make me go nauseous. Stooling seized for over 10 days. Was killing myself with all sorts of fruits to ease my stooling.

I frigging almost died by the time my wife got me to the Hospital.

The first hospital had rejected me due to my labored breathing for fear of COVID 19.

When the last hospital finally accepted to take me in after what seemed like an eternity of monitoring me outside their premises for any signs of COVID and ran a test on me, my blood sugar level was tipping already at 51.5 when a normal level should be in the 4-7 region.

The doctors were shocked and concluded that 30 minutes later than I had come in and I'd have gone into a coma and possibly death.

I did almost three weeks in the hospital and still recovering.

A very very silent killer.

Stay away from sugar and sodas guys.

Diabetes is real.

Now I have become an advocate for this cause too.

I wished I had spoken out while I was going through the same symptoms and gotten swift advice like you just did.

A health informative thread as this should be making the FP particularly at this time of a pandemic and the lockdown.


THANKS... AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RECOVERY.

Go test your blood sugar level, please.

Everyone reading this should do as a matter of urgency it is a silent killer.


True...... all I knew about high blood sugar is when it gets really bad is when amputations begin..... beginning with the toes.... legs up to the knees.. and what more I never cared to find out.... it was a slow killer. But then one day this guy came to my car window and asked me to call 911 because of high blood sugar and he didn't have any insulin.....said he would be standing across the sidewalk. ... was on the phone with the dispatcher for like two minutes.... then turned to tell the guy an ambulance is on its way..... the guy had collapsed.... out cold. Ambulance came.... took him away.... I wasn't sure if he was in a coma.... or if he died. That's when I realize high blood sugar is really a silent killer.

Soda drinkers.... energy drink fans..... and those who love cereals etc....snacks... look for the ingredient high fructose corn syrup... it is in a whole lot of products made in the USA.... it is a sweetener ...ordinary sugar is no match... that one is serious.... banned in Europe... banned in Canada. You are responsible for what you put into your body. Eat carefully.... or you pay the price in the long run.

I am having same symptoms, had a little fever went to the hospital and they gave me malaria drugs and after taking the drugs I got better but lost my sense of smell and taste. It’s been 8days now my taste is gradually returning and same with smell but it’s still difficult to smell except the smell is very hard. This thing is viral because it is affecting a lot of people in Onitsha.
