I BEAT COVID SERIES: Bruno K says he felt so helpless and sick

HEALTH  |  I BEAT COVID SERIES


The day I got covid 19 is the day I stopped making jokes about this disease. It all started as a fever and I was feeling so weak. I ran straight to the nearest clinic for a check up and the malaria results came out positive. The doctor immediately prescribed for me a malaria dose.

I took this for 3 days, but nothing was changing. I still felt so weak and got dehydrated more. Eventually, I lost my sense to smell and I started having difficulties in breathing. I talked to my very close friend that I hang out with alot and my friend told me it may be covid 19.

My friend got sick the next day and when he went to the clinic, they told him its typhoid. Because my friend is a curious one, he went to mulago and took a covid test which later came out positive. My friend called me and told me "Bruno, I think u also have covid bro".

My friend had a lot of info about how to go about the virus. He shared it with me and immediately, I dropped the malaria drugs and began fighting the virus. He told me to get ginger, lemon, metho plus, and put them in hot water either in a bucket or basin cover my self with something and steam.

I started doing steaming 4 times a day. After he 1st day, I started feeling alito bit better. So the next day I didn't steam and guess wat. Things became worse. I called my cousin who is a doc. He told me if I want to go thru this, I need to keep steaming nonstop. I resumed the steaming.

I did the steaming for like 4 days and I was feeling much better but my sense to smell was still messed up. I was told to take some tab called fabricol - some green tab. It helps clear a stuffy nose and with a few days, my sense to smell was back.

I started taking hot concoctions mixed with ginger, garlic and lemon among others. After like 1 week and 3 days, I was fine. But I was told to keep steaming once a day and also take the concoctions cause that virus is a tricky one.

Why did I make this thread?

Many of you are out there spreading foolish propagandas that covid doesn't exist. I was one of those doubting Thomas's till I fell sick my self. We can fight this virus but I still feel people are still so ignorant about it. Imagine so many people don't know about this steaming thing?

I isolated my self for like 3 weeks, did my steaming and I got better. I actually feel so healthy. If you are still having doubts about this virus, visit Mulago Hospital or ask any one that has lost a loved one. This virus can finish you in days. Never in my life have I felt so helpless and sick like wen I had covid.

And my friend told me I am lucky I started steaming early otherwise, things would have gotten worse. Imagine struggling to breathe, you can't even hold your breath for just 10 seconds; you feel like u are suffocating... mwe temuzanyila ku covid.
