Got Covid-19 again, probably the Omicron Variant

I tested positive for the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) more than two Weeks ago using a Rapid Antigen Test, I just thought I’d share my experiences with it and hopefully share some lessons as well. 

Remember that I did get infected with Covid-19 also around March of last Year (2021), so now I got the Virus in two out of the three Years of the Pandemic. I was vaccinated with the Janssen Vaccine last July 2021. 

‘Symptoms’

First off, my Symptoms this time were mild compared to before, this is why I think I got the Omicron Variant. I just had a clogged Nose, some Coughs, a maximum of 38.4 deg. C Fever, but I didn’t lose my sense of Taste this time. 

The Fever also only lasted for about a Day then it was gone. It came back the next Night, but was gone again for good after that. My only complaint was that the clogged Nose was pretty bad, and I still had for a couple of Days after I had the Fever. 

‘Medication’

Note that I am just relaying what I did and that I am not necessarily recommending others to take these also, but for medication I initially took 500 mg Biogesic Tablets every six hours, but it didn’t seem very effective. 

I later switched to 500 mg BioFlu Tablets when our Neighbors said it was better, and it definitely seemed so as it brought down most of the Symptoms. 

I also took 500 mg Ascorbic Acid and 600 mg Ascof Forte once a Day. I also gargled with Orahex Forte with Zinc thrice a Day, I made sure to follow the Directions of not rinsing my Mouth or eating within 30 minutes after gargling. 

‘Location and Protection’

At the time that I got the infection, I was wearing a KN95 Mask and a Cherry Ion Personal Air Purifier. No Face Shield since it wasn’t required anymore, and it was a bit bulky to carry around. 

I visited two Hospitals (for a different reason), a Mercury Drug Store and a small Restaurant at that time. I didn’t remove my Mask anywhere except at the small Restaurant because it was time to eat, but I was the only Customer there at that time, there were no other People except for the Servers. 

‘Parting Shot’

Despite the Mild Symptoms, I don’t plan to get the Virus again, it was still unpleasant plus the fact that I have to deal with quarantining myself also. 

I am still not sure where I got the Virus, but moving forward I am going to start using Face Shields again and buy a better Mask. I will also avoid eating in Indoor Restaurants as much as possible, I think it will be Outdoor or Home Dining for now.
