NoidaThe Omicron variant of Corona may have been considered to have milder symptoms than Delta, but it can take a long time to fully recover from the infection it causes. Chief Justice of India NV Raman, who has been a victim of corona infection, has appealed to all people to be safe from the Omicron variant of corona. During a hearing, Justice Raman described the Omicron variant as a ‘silent killer’ and said that those infected with this variant may take a long time to fully recover. He said that, “I have been a victim of infection in the first wave of corona as well but was cured of it in four days. Whereas after 25 days of being exposed to the Omicron variant, I still haven’t fully recovered.
Although studies have described infection with the Omicron variant of the corona as mild, health experts have been consistently advising all people to take preventive measures. Doctors say Omicron is showing milder symptoms than the delta variant that caused the second wave in the country, although it can cause serious health problems in some people. Let us know in the following slides that what people who have been infected with Omicron should keep in mind to make a full recovery? What should be done for faster recovery from Omicron variant?
What is the advice of a health expert?
Speaking to AnyTV, Dr Saurabh Awasthi, Senior Physician, Intensive Care Unit, says that since the beginning of the third wave, it has been emphasized that even though many people have Omicron symptoms like mild cold and flu, But it should not be taken lightly. Several studies suggest long-term effects due to this highly infectious variant, indicating that although its symptoms are mild, this variant is causing harm to the body. Apart from this, some sub-variants of Omicron are also being mentioned in the reports which are said to be more infectious, so adequate measures are necessary to prevent it.
How long can it take to fully recover from the infection?
Dr Saurabh explains, although most people are recovering in 5-7 days, although it may take some time to recover completely from this. It also depends on the ability of the patient to fight the disease. After the initial recovery from COVID-19, some people may have long-term problems of fatigue-weakness or body aches. Some people are also having post covid problems because of Omicron. Full recovery time can vary from person to person.
What to do after recovering from infection?Health experts say, even after the test report comes negative after Omicron infection, it is necessary to take care of health. Special attention needs to be paid to diet and routine to survive post covid problems. Including things rich in protein-vitamins in the diet can be beneficial for you. Apart from this, the most important thing is to keep the body hydrated.
