I Am Experiencing It First Hand, I Can't Smell Anything Again! by Advocatejustice(m): 9:11pm On Jan 29, 2021 |
I have been hearing how people are saying they lost their sense of smell since the inception of this COVID 19. I'm practically experiencing it now. I have been down with cold, cough, catarrh and general weakness of the body and headache for three days now. How did I get to fully confirm my claimed? I wanted to check a bowl if it was used for oil engine or groundnut oil in the office, I just can't get any smell to distinguished at all. I practically put my hands inside the oil, put it into my noise and no smell of anything at all. After these incidents in office I began to take notice by smelling things. This was after 3 days of sickness even though without proper recovery from the sickness Then today, when I finally discovered that smelling has left my nose was when I went to buy my perfume (Cotton Club). The first person gave me another brand because he did not have the Cotton Club, he claimed the one he gave me is more effective but when he opened it I couldn't smell anything, I practically put it into my nose and I can't smell it at all. I was still in doubt maybe the perfume he gave has issue so I told him I will go and check for my Cotton Club else where. Alas! when I laid hands on my own Cotton Club and sprayed it around my neck and hands to smell, I can't smell anything too. When I went to church this evening, I just sprayed it on my cloth knowing fully well that I can't perceived it myself at all. Is any one else going through this? |

Nwokem, take a piece of garlic, peel it and insert into your nostrils. You will get the smell but it will be faint. Eat garlic and continue to inhale crushed garlic . You will be fine within a week. But why did you go to church since you know you are suffering from this disease 2 Likes |

The first step to recovery is self isolation.. Wear your mask if you must go out.. Mine started on Saturday I've started perceiving but not much..it can be really depressing |

Yes o, I had the same loss of sense of smell last week oo. I told everyone around me. I had a fever before that. I'm fine now Sha. It got so bad that when I was cleaning my air filter with kerosene, I couldn't smell it. I have been using sniper in KY house every day, sometimes I would have to go and sniff the bottle before I could perceive a faint smell. But I feel better now. It could be covid oo. I told everyone around me. 1 Like |

Go and do Covid 19 test before your condition exacerbates to the point where it may be difficult for you to heal, you know our health centers are poorly equipped 1 Like |

Haba and you still went to church? Once you notice symptoms, stay far away from people as possible. |

Take 4-6 oranges per day to help boost your immune system. Between just #100-#150 If you can handle the bitterness in bitter kola, chew one per day until the symptoms disappear. |

It's no longer news that we are currently experiencing the 2nd wave of Covid-19 in Nigeria. I recently recovered from Covid-19 and I would like to educate everyone on my experience and how I treated it. Tip - If you are experiencing Malaria, Typhoid or Flu symptoms, start treating Covid-19 immediately. My Experience I live together with my sister and contracted the virus from her. On the day she tested positive, we were already experiencing symptoms. We were both running fever, body pains and a sore throat. It is very important to treat symptoms immediately you start experiencing them – especially the cold related symptoms. The symptoms typically start from the nose or throat and move rapidly to the chest. Once it gets to the chest/lungs, it starts impacting your ability to breathe. This is where most people need hospitalization. So, we started treating the symptoms with Vitamins and Ginger. We also ensured we ate properly, rested at least 12hr minimum, stayed in-doors, no cold drinks/food, did not use fan and had the AC at 28C. The symptoms remained mild because of aggressive and consistent treatment. Most young people without any underlying health issue will have mild symptoms and can treat Covid-19 from home. See a rough timeline of the symptoms: Day 1 – Fever, Body Pains, Sore throat, tiredness Day 2 – Blocked nose (off and on) Day 4 – Loss of sense of Smell Day 5 – Fever stops (no need for Paracetamol) Day 7 – Sore throat intensifies & starts to move to the chest, chest pain; I increased intake of raw ginger, vitamins and oranges Day 8 – Chest pain stops, sore throat reduces, still tired Day 10 – Starting to feel stronger, cold symptoms very minimal, still tired (sleeping 12 hours a day vs 7-8 hours on a normal day) Day 11 – Sense of smell returns - (this was triggered by inhaling a new smell; I opened a new perfume I just got) Day 13 – Tests negative for Covid 19 Treatment Tip – Have these items at home because the symptoms progress very rapidly. 1. Vitamin B – to be taken 3 times daily 2. Vitamin C – 1000mg to be taken 1-2 times daily 3. Vitamin D – to be taken 2 times daily 4. Zinc – To be taken once daily 5. Paracetamol – to alleviate fever and body aches as needed 6. Ginger – to be eaten raw 3 times daily. I put ginger as a drug because it is literally the most powerful medication on this list. A few minutes after eating Ginger, I noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms. It tastes bitter at first, then peppery, then hot which might dissuade some people from eating it raw – but overall its tolerable. 7. Fruits – Oranges, lemon, etc 8. Prayer Though my symptoms were mild, having Covid-19 was not an enjoyable experience. Ensure you always “mask-up”. I saw my father before my symptoms showed and he had his mask on throughout. That’s the only thing that saved him. Always wear your masks and Stay safe guys! 6 Likes |

Advocatejustice: Thank you for replying sir. I guess I'd have to start fruits tomorrow then. I have spent a lot of money on drugs and yet it is not effective on me. I have just begun the ginger and garlic stuff today. Thank you once again |
