Sometime in December i noticed i had fever it happens mostly at night, for 3 days i had to take malaria drug guess it costs alot 2k3( cant remember the name) from there it snowballed to serious pains in my ribs i noticed whenever i breath the pain was unbearable with a serious dry cough my spine was aching me. Bought fleming antibiotics 1000mg 1 morning and night after the first day the pains in my ribs stopped. Took a cocktail of ginger,garlic and turmeric a cup a day. To me we have suffered covid19 long ago, most of us are immune but we don't know. Covid19 is not a death sentence.
N/b i have high blood pressure and a high sugar level i take my drugs regularly too to avoid stories that touch

President Buhari.........

It happened to me on 16 May, and was the ONLY symptom. Went for a test the next day and it came back positive as i had expected, cos i have never had Anosmia in my 35yrs on planet earth. Got my sense of smell back one week after without any medication aside my normal high strength vit c supplement i take daily. Isolated myself from family since then. No one else has any symptoms. Will retake the test by Sunday, and i'm confident it will be negative. Most people already have or had covid and have recovered without knowing. I already knew sha, even before the test.

When they post any snake on nairaland, many say it is cobra, only cobras we have as snake in the world.

Now people are experience a flu like symptoms, they say corona

Have you all forgotten that too much use of face mask can cause such, even change of season.

Go and do this practical.

Deep you head down inside a block refrigerator, before that, make sure you have tom-tom in your mouth, try and breathe in and see if you there's any difference.

we werent given birth to yesterday, this is not the first time we are having flu or malaria and we aint concluding its corona. i have never lost my sense of smell before. this is the first time its happening to me. and its not after getting in contact with the person who had similar issues

martineverest:
says who?...even heard of Paulo dybala of Juventus?.

many people have gotten it 3ce after recovery

No way. Send a link to your claim. Most cases were as a result of faulty test kits

Lost my sense of smell 2weeks ago for 4days. I got my sense of smell on the 5th day. I've got a strong immune system,I ain't scared of coro

Nickymezor:

Hmm, this thread Sha,
Well I didn't have loss of taste and sense of smell,
But I had serious dry cough, mild malaria and at some point difficulty in breathing,was going through the internet searching to know if those are symptoms of COVID-19 or just common cold, was so scared but convincing my self it's not COVID-19,
my mum started having same too after some time, my junior brother also.had it.too, we just took cough syrup and anti maleria medicine which made me feel more sick, but got better after taking the whole tablets, am getting better sha
But I still believe its not COVID-19

hstar:

No evidence to backup this your claim

Almost everyone in my family and church have lost their sense of smell and taste and recovered recently....which is a symptom of corona virus.

It is now hitting us hard in Port Harcourt here o.......

We hope in God!

Ladyauthentic:
OMG!

My eldest bro called me from Lagos to complain about same thing. He had malaria the previous week, recovered without treatment, then came the loss of smell.

I was so sure it was Covid 19, Chai! Was so scared.

Now many Lagos residents are complaining of same, that's a relief. Something must be going on.

Could it be that this virus has gone round? Or there is something in the water over there?

When I couldn't smell anything after a brief illness. I had to go on the Internet to browse what could be the possible cause. Believe me I was shocked to see Covid 19 among what was listed as the possible cause of it. This is a very reputation site where I saw the meaning. I was afraid to ask such question here. But thank God i am very OK now and the sense of smelling is very OK now. Please stay safe.

ThreeBlackBird:


Even abroad, na malaria drugs them dey use manage the virus. Why should it be different in Nigeria?

Have you ever heard someone lose sense of taste for malaria before?

yes.. Very well. Even the malaria drugs taste bad

That's the trend in bonny Island here almost everybody complains of the same situation.
Though mine was tasteless, I was perceiving, and was having heavy headache and terrible fever, ever since I was born never experienced such in my life, 3 days after taking malaria medication Arthemeter and lumefantrine to be precised I didn't get normal improvement required, I had to take chloroquine injection, and I got better after that.
Till now a lot of people are still complaining lose of smell and taste.

I HAVE LOST IT ALL, DON'T TELL ME IT'S JUST MORE THAN CATARR!

Folzye:
Truth is Malaria like symptoms are rampant these days, just yesterday I actually felt like my nose and taste buds ain't picking up the right signals...fear gripped me as I remembered one of the symptoms of covid, but definitely not my portion

Hmmm

most likely. thank God for you and your family's recovery. please also try to avoid crowded places so you will not unknowingly infect anybody else just in case you might still have traces of the virus in your system. also try and do a test so you can be confirmed negative. take care all the best

I have the same thing for 6 days... But it's normal now... While I was having it I had serious cold too... I guess mine was sinus infection

Sparkle777:
Where are those that says Coronavirus isn't real, let them enter this thread. Where are the 5G exponents, I dnt think most people here have ever seen the 5G masts.
Am so grateful to God that we fought it off, imagine if everyone wit these symptoms had died?
Remember, that u can always contact it again if exposed. Now for the recoverees, pls isolate and dnt spread it the more.

This is the only thread on Covid-19 I have not read "it's a scam", "Audio", blah, blah, blah. How Covid-19 will be in Togo, Ghana, Benin, Chad, Cameroon, SA, and it won't be in Nigeria will baffle every sane person. God has delivered us, we should thank Him. This thread vindicates all who have always believed that the testing is not aggressive enough. Countries turning in higher figures are not just manufacturing them, they are able to do so because there is increased testing going on there.
We have all been delivered, though we are still in the middle of the game. When you believe there is no Covid-19 in Nigeria. Fine. But don't spread your toxic belief, it will endanger the innocent ones who use their head.

TrueHeart365:

lol..even bitterleaf is now tasteless to some people....flu is a sign of corona....failed taste buds and loss of smell confirm the existence of corona in individuals

Badonasty:
Oga call ncdc straight...make una no go infect more people

How many people out of the millions NCDC fit cater for?

Isolate and eat the heck out of garlic and ginger. Take plenty vitamin c and water

I dey suspect those 5G doctors from China

Had the two symptoms and it lasted for almost 2 weeks. Couldn't cook and the only food I could eat was pap.

Witnesstony28:
My younger sisters complained of the same thing oh! My immediate younger sister has been taking malaria, typhoid and hepatitis drugs for sometime now.

She started complaining of headaches and body pain for like 1 wk. Hope it's not coro oh!

That thing is scary!

It shall not come near me and my own

u and all your family members should start eating/drinking ginger,garlic,orange,Moringa ,green tea etc to boost your immunity

ajailer:
I have lost my taste and smell senses too and it's been like this for like a month now. in fact yesterday I was even taking a drink and was wondering why it tasted so different until I now remembered what I was going through then I calmed down.

if it's covid, then maybe I won't be too surprised cos the Italian index case in Nigeria passed through my company when he landed at Lagos airport.

health wise, so far, I have had malaria which is another symptom but I have recovered from it and am doing fine right now

the only precaution I have been observing so far is not going to visit my elderly relatives as I don't want to be the source of their infection.

presently I take a lot of this our local herb called dongoyaro which is very effective for curing malaria

plz when did urs start and how are u feeling now?

Nickymezor:
Oga datz a song oo... Won't do that for you biko..who wants to catch Coro

Lol, just trying to pull your legs.. However what people are experiencing is not the corona virus.. Since this pandemic started, there have been adjustments to our lifestyle, the environment and the likes and the body is just trying to adjust to the new normal

jidxin:
in shortness of time it cant be. your body has produced covid anti bodies which will adequately fight the virus. so you cant contact it again within a short period depending on how strong your anti bodies are.

now u are talking
