Coronavirus has made us lock ourselves in our homes. But there are some who are unaware that they have contracted the disease. Television actor Purab Kohli took to his social media handle today to announce that he and his family were diagnosed with COVID-19. The actor in his long Instagram post stated that he had normal cold and flu and turning his worst nightmare true, it was nothing other than COVID-19.
The actor explained the entire scenario in his post. He said, “Hey guys, we’ve just had flu and given our symptoms our GP says we were down with COVID 19. Pretty similar to regular flu with a stronger cough and a feeling of breathlessness. Inaya got it first and very mild. A cough and a cold for two days. Then Lucy got it more in the chest, quite similar to the cough symptom everyone has been talking about. Then me, I got a solid cold for one day which was horrid then it vanished and this irritating cough set in for 3 days. Three of us had only mild 100-101 temperatures and fatigue. Osian got it last with a 104 fever for 3 nights. Also a runny nose and a slight cough. His fever disappeared only on his 5th day.
He further added, “We were constantly in touch with the GP on the phone. Apparently everyone in London is getting it and it’s rampant here, and a few people we know have gotten it.
Just wanted to share it with you if it helps reduce the panic a little to know someone who has had it and is fine. On Wednesday last week we were out of self-imposed quarantine and are not contagious any longer.
We were doing 4 to 5 steams and saltwater gargles a day, ginger Haldi honey mixtures to soothe the throat really helped. Also, warm water bottles on the chest really helped relax the chest. Hot baths helped fluid feelings. And of course lots and lots of rest even now after two weeks we can feel our bodies still recovering.”
Lastly the actor wrote, “Please stay safe. I hope none of you get it but if you do, know that your body is strong enough to fight it. Seek proper advice from your doctors as intensity of each case is different as was in my household alone. And please stay home and rest the body as much as possible.
Lots of love.
