We are a Family of two, i.e. Me and my Mom, both of us were diagnosed with Covid-19.First me on August 16th and my Mom a day later.
Sharing all things that we found particularly Essential and useful during our Home Quarantine.
I believe these are a must have for any family to feel safe during the Recovery period. This is my personal Experience that I am sharing.
WHAT HELPED US THE MOST :
Below are a List of Items that are a must for you to be prepared to fight against the Virus.
Me and my mother personally found these useful.
Being Prepared is better than leaving it up to Luck, Don't take chances with your family.
Steamer, Steamer, Steamer!!!
Steaming Twice a Day really helped keep the Coughing down to mild coughs every few mins,Also kept our nasal chamber open and thankfully we didn't have much difficulty breathing.
We used Vicks VapoRub ointment mixed into the steam water which really helped. Although we had lost our sense of smell, we could still feel the ointment in our chest with every inhale.
Oximeter
Our Doctor recommended we buy this and check our Oxygen levels Twice a day and rush to the Hospital if we saw our Oxygen level dropping below 90.
Thankfully the lowest we saw our levels drop to was 95, but this tool was pretty handy and also gave us relief that the disease was under control.
Still, even after recovery we are now dis-infecting our Phones and Wallet and all the cash regularly after every visit outdoors. Or when we receive delivery.
Liquid Sanitizer is too cumbersome and Expensive and this helps a lot especially if you have kids around the house who tend to put things in their mouths.
Pretty handy thing to have, hope it lasts long, so far its been going great.
This also makes a good Gift item for someone who has a child or is pregnant.
Thermometer
Probably the most Important item on the list.
Me and my mom both had terrible weakness and constant fever of 102 deg. for around 6 days.
Checking temperature regularly helped me with my medications Whenever it went above 100 had to take a Paracetamol, which was recommended to us for fever.
Consult your own doctor though as each case is unique.
Oxygen Bottles
I didn't actually get to use this one., but had one ready just in case me or my mother faced difficulty breathing.
Cant say if its good or not for the product I used cause its still lying unused, but its not a bad thing to have handy. I shall probably use it on my Trekking Expeditions later.
Last but not the least our very famous Hand Sanitizer.
I only use this before having any food and after poo, however i have seen people literally squirt this on a chair before sitting and also apply it on their face, guess to each his own!
