ANSWER:
There are some misunderstandings between severe Covid-19 and mild Covid-19. According to the doctor, if the virus is only confined to the Nose and Throat, the Covid-19 case is considered as minor illness. Whereas if it attacks the Lungs, it will cause serious illness.
The mild ones are safe and supposed to go away from 1-2 weeks, whether you take medicine or not. This is the natural course of the disease. Although they have numerous symptoms that make them feel exhausted, the virus doesn’t develop in the lungs, they are safe. Be patient for a couple of days, you’ll feel better soon.
On the contrary, if your SpO2 decreases, you get dangerous symptoms of Covid-19. Therefore, you have to know how to monitor SpO2 at home to monitor the progression and be treated appropriately by doctor.
Abusing drugs including antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulants, or traditional methods is a bad mistake because you think you should get severe Covid-19.
It would help if you had a family doctor for safe guidance for all health-related issues.
