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

It's coronavirus. And according to research, there is a high possibility you won't regain your sense of smell and taste even after recovering

Honestly, I take too much sugar too. Little alcohol a times.

I haven't felt any negative effect from too much sugar intake yet. Don't know if my loss of sense of taste and smell is related to it though. But I have recovered fully.

Think I need to know the hospital you went, if you are in Lagos. I need to check myself and start nipping any danger in the bud.

Sharp sharp quit with the sugar and soft drinks, please. There ain't any known or direct correlation between alcohol and high sugar but doctors would warn you to steer clear.

It's a horrible experience to go through believe me.

It set me over 350k back, and it ain't no joke.

I'm grateful to be alive though and worry less about the money.

Sorry, I'm not in Lagos. You could get the test done at any lab, I've had to buy the mobile device to check myself anytime.

That's a symptom of covid 19 virus.

Oga calm down i had same symptoms some weeks ago and people said that it was Coronavirus virus but smh it may not add up.

Op when i had mine i took more of vitamine C (white and colored) and within one week i got my sense if taste and smell back(you can check my profile,i made a post about it some weeks ago).

I read same thing sometime ago and the affected person took a medication called 'CONTACT' and he got himself back within one week;maybe you should try it out and also see ur doctor.

That's how the medicine looks like(it's sold for 150#-200)

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
. Even when your friend and his family have not done covid19 test?
Oga u can not market corovirus to us again.
How do u know your friends get covid19?

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.

Damn scary. shocked
Sorry to ask, what's your age sir.

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.


That malaria u called is Corona.
