Finally better sense has prevailed
Excellent Suggestions by Doctor’s round table on India Today Channel having 4 highly reputed Doctors panel. Very important points made by these qualified Doctors :
1) Plasma therapy is not recommended in the 2nd wave by WHO or any other Organisation around the World. It is waste of time & money.
2) If needed, CT scan of lungs to be done between 5th to 7th day, otherwise report may be misguiding.
3) No need of any Medication in the 1st week of infection, except Paracetamol (if fever persists) along with Multivitamins & Zinc. In case of Fever, Paracetamol should not be taken SOS but regularly in 6 hourly interval.
4) If symptoms continue, Condition worsens in 2nd week between 7th & 10th day, keep close monitoring on Oxygen level, Coughing frequency, Pulse & Temperature.
5) If Condition worsens in 2nd week, without wasting time start treatment with Steroids in consultation with Doctor. Steroid treatment is the most effective way of treating Lungs infection.
6) Oxygen concentrator of 5 L is not suitable, as they probably can't bring back Oxygen saturation above 94 continuously.
7) Proning is now officially approved method for improving Oxygen level.
8) Positive persons after becoming negative are safe from infection for next 90-180 days.
9) Positive persons should take their 1st or 2nd injection after 90 days of becoming negative, as they have sufficient antibody for next 90 days at least.
10) Condition of young people in the age group of 30-45 yrs. worsens suddenly as they have strong capacity to hold back till a point and thereafter collapses suddenly. Close monitoring is essential and each passing day is crucial.
** Good points to be taken care by everyone **
