ward.
Here’s what he says p>
On March 12th, I was quarantined in the hotel. I did a nucleic acid test at about 5:30 in the morning. At noon, the staff informed me that I needed to have additional testing. At about 3:30 in the afternoon, I I was notified that I needed to be transferred to the Shanghai Public Health Center for centralized isolation and treatment, and a car came to pick me up an hour later.
When I first entered the hospital, I still had some negative emotions of anxiety and unease. Seeing that the medical staff are very busy, the number of confirmed cases is also increasing. It does feel a little confusing. But I didn’t feel scared, the whole environment was orderly and there was no panic as I imagined.
Our room is for 3 people, or 6 people, and some beds are arranged in the corridor and outpatient lobby area.
I am a mild patient, and my body sensation is similar to that of a common cold. The doctor gave me Lianhua Qingwen Granules, and they will check my body temperature, Blood oxygen monitoring, CT and blood draw will also be done. If someone’s temperature goes up, the doctor will also give some antipyretics. If you feel uncomfortable in your throat or have other severe symptoms, you can also ask the doctor or nurse for your needs, and they will basically meet it. Generally, nucleic acid testing will begin after 5 to 7 days.
In fact, in terms of treatment, I think the most important thing is to have a good rest, sleep well, and eat nutritiously. The meals we arrange every day Contains a lot of protein. Three meals a day will have eggs, then breakfast will have milk, and lunch and dinner will have more meat. By supplementing a lot of protein, we can improve our immunity and help us recover faster and better.
My family members were also infected with the new crown, including my wife, the elderly and children in the family. It really makes me feel very distressed. But after everyone entered the hospital for treatment, they felt that the disease was not so scary, and their hearts were settled.
On March 25, my nucleic acid Ct value was greater than or equal to 35 twice in a row, which met the discharge criteria. I was still very excited that day. When I was going through the discharge procedures, the doctor asked me to choose the method of follow-up isolation, home isolation or hotel isolation. Hotel isolation was at my own expense. I finally chose home isolation. I always felt more at ease at home. Before discharge, all luggage needs to be sanitized once.
The home quarantine period will be up to 7 days. During the quarantine period at home, I wrote an article“Shanghai Nucleic Acid Abnormalities Self-Help Manual” and sent it to the WeChat public account “Friends of Tatler”, which has been read more than 10 times. Ten thousand. In this handbook, I have written detailed instructions on how to handle and resolve matters such as CDC calls, quarantine materials, quarantine treatment points, and discharge from hospital.
Mr. Shen wrote the “Shanghai Nucleic Acid Abnormal Self-Help Manual”
I wrote this manual There are two main considerations: First, I experienced a very confused state when I was diagnosed, and I also had negative emotions. If my experience can help you avoid wrongful paths and improve your mentality, it will also be beneficial to the recovery of diagnosed patients.
In addition, I have been having a hard time sleeping lately at night, and I am thinking, as a part of the city, can I do something for everyone? So, I wrote my experience, hoping that someone will read this article, once you are isolated and treated, don’t have too much anxiety, tension or complaining, these may become special experiences in your life, and it will be good to pass. . The only way to overcome the difficulties is for everyone to work together. I also hope that Shanghai can overcome this difficulty as soon as possible and wait for the dawn of victory as soon as possible.
