So my last post here in the lounge was about Covid vaccines and all that. The next day I get a little sore tongue and lip. I feel uneasy due to my bad routine. I also have a little fever around 25th June and body ache. I assume it's because of the sudden workout and little strenuous physical work and my uneasy stomach. I take nimesulide and the next day I am fine, for 8-10 hrs before fever kicks back in. Everyone is starting to think it's covid. New symptoms pop up. Sore tongue and lip continue, the coughing started but only when the fever was rising. I was breathing fine, next 3-4 days no loss of taste, but the fever doesn't go down for longer periods of time. Now my girlfriend is in panic mode. She has a flight from Russia to India to meet me on the 30th and my fever is constantly rising. But because I was in cooler my body would be momentarily cold and my brother would touch my body and say Nah, you don't have much fever. I started measuring with a thermometer around 28th and found it was hitting 102/103 F. I decided to consult a doctor on the 4th day and he wrote all covid meds including Vit C. I and my brother kept saying that there were tonnes of sicknesses that existed before covid but the doctor heard the symptoms and prescribed covid meds, asked me to take them for 2 days if everything doesn't get better then report to him. I took meds but no improvement, weakness increased. Somehow he encouraged me to take more Vit C and Citrus fruits/ Pineapple Juice. Canker sores in my mouth were increasing and so was fever. Then somehow I tried to contact another doctor on 7th day. I was breathing fine, with no loss of taste or smell. The only thing worse was that I was feeling exhausted and the heat in Delhi is hitting 48-49 degrees Celcius. Consulted with another doctor. She suggested me to go for CT Scan. and continue taking paracetamol if the fever rose. Now in covid, they give you antibiotics for the chest and lungs. CT Scan turned out to be normal on the 8th day of fever. I was now pretty sure something was wrong with my stomach. I contacted a gastroenterologist and he said if it's not covid then it points to really bad acid reflux in your stomach, which explains the sores and uneasy stomach as well. Asked me to stop with everything related to Vit C and citrus fruits. Also said no chocolates and all that. Wrote some meds for this. I decided not to go for the antibiotics he suggested for the stomach rather use the one they suggest in typhoid. Because all of the above symptoms were of typhoid as well. I started taking everything related to acid reflux except antibiotics. and it worked!! First time my fever broke down to 94 F. and I continued with the meds and went for several blood tests including tests for malaria and typhoid. Everything came out negative except all these meds affected my liver and caused a little swelling there. So I continued with all those meds and multivitamins and now I am perfectly fine. I got a very valuable lesson out of all this. Just because there's a pandemic going on doesn't mean every condition will be covid. My first time meeting in this LDR of 2 yrs also went well. I am back to work today and hope everything goes well here as well.
