As expected, I commute between work, the subway, and my place of residence every day, and I tested positive for COVID-19.
It's very uncomfortable, so let me objectively record my symptoms.
Day 1: 2022/12/19
Continued fever of around 38℃, didn't take any medication, toughed it out.
Antigen test came back positive, probably on the second or third day, but I didn't have any symptoms in the previous days, so I won't count them. The reaction only started last night.
Lying in bed with sore limbs, peeling skin, like powder, probably due to high fever.
Sore throat, drank pear water with rock sugar, very soothing, felt much better.
Measured 38.7℃ before going to sleep, took cold medicine, surprisingly felt energetic, spent some time on my phone.
Day 2: 2022/12/20
Continued dizziness and headache, took another cold medicine in the early morning, started sweating all over after a while, pajamas soaked but no strength, persisted in sleeping.
Bitter throat, intermittent dizziness, temperature dropped to 37° in the morning.
Nausea when eating, stomachache, dizziness.
Day 3: 2022/12/21
Sore throat, itchy throat, coughing, no other symptoms.
Good mental state.
Can't eat greasy food, can eat something light.
Day 4: 2022/12/22
Sweated a lot at night, soaked my pajamas again, probably the immune system fought a battle while I wasn't paying attention.
Mental state during the day is similar to the third day, but the intensity of coughing has increased. Can work normally sitting in front of the computer, a working person.
Still positive.
Day 5: 2022/12/23
Endless runny nose, more and more like a bad cold, but the past two days were really uncomfortable. Nose is red from being blocked, accompanied by intermittent coughing.
Still have no appetite, can't eat anything, I expect this situation to continue for about a week.
Day 6: 2022/12/24
Today's condition is still okay, intermittent runny nose, not as severe as yesterday, planning to test for antigens again tomorrow.
And I found that the biggest impact of COVID-19 on me is my appetite, I have no desire to eat at all, looking at delicious food in front of me but it tastes like wax.
As a foodie, this is what causes me the most pain!! I hope my appetite can recover soon.
The next few days were spent mostly coughing, and the illness is almost over. I have many feelings and I hope everyone takes good care of their health.
