Didn't know malaria is now a communicable disease that you can transfer from one human to the other.

Don't worry yourself. I felt same thing some weeks ago. I couldn't smell but I guess I could taste. It cleared off many days later.

You know how to get phlegm off your nose through your mouth when you brush your teeth? Do it and you will be just fine. Two of my sisters felt same way and we are all good

Your are covid19 positive....
Just isolate your self....take ginger and galic juice everyday
Always take hot bathe
Take some malaria drugs
Most importantly constantly throw out the drop let from your mouth.
It will take two weeks to recover.

please can you enlighten us more on what you took to make your sugar levels that high? Wish you speedy health and recovery.

I never knew I had the propensity for my pancreatic gland to mess up and drive my sugar levels haywire.

I've never really paid much attention to sugar sickness or diabetes. Always had that thought of "it can't be me".

So, with the lockdown, we had the house stocked up with all sorts. Biscuits, sodas, syrups of all sorts, alcohol, etc.

It was a take and go with not much of moving around really except the bedroom to the kitchen, bath, and toilet.

After a while, I realized I hadn't stooled in about a week, I was constantly getting dehydrated and gulping water in volume. No matter what I forced my self to eat because my this time I was beginning to lose my sense of taste and smell, I'd still feel empty and hungry from the inside and was fast emanciating.

To compound it all, I had zero malaria symptoms and decided I could get fruits to help with the stopping by the 10th day of not stopping.

I was consuming all sorts of fruits and piling up the sugar, while my wife would make me salt and sugar solution to keep me rehydrated lol. After that, she'd fix me a huge jug of Ribena syrup plus akamu with enough sugar.

Oga I nearly die before she rush me enter car around 12am run go hospital when I begin breathe like radiator wey dey overheat.

Na God save me.

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.

Ginger tea is placebo for Covid-19.

Hi bro, calm down! There's nothing wrong with you. I feel it's just some infection remaining in your system that your body is fighting. After taking some anti malaria drugs too, I had similar issues few weeks ago and it got me really worried. While looking for any remedy I could lay my hands on, I searched for symptoms that I had and Google even made it worse to say that it's a symptom of COVID-19.

Fast forward 2 days later, I encouraged my self, and ate lots of alligator pepper and ginger! Before I knew it, my taste buds returned and I could smell very again very well.

Try that too. Ginger works well.

If you are serious, call the NCDC number for your state and discuss with them. Also, isolate yourself while waiting for the test. I pray God give you good health

Downing dose of vitaminC might be risky since he is not a physician. Let him seek medical attention especially NCDC accredited centre for Covid-19 test. It's free!

Didn't know malaria is now a communicable disease that you can transfer from one human to the other.

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.
