COVID -19: PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE


There is no specific medicine and vaccine invented till the date to treat COVID-19, severe viral diseases, engulfed many thousands of peoples in the world. It pushes back to the developing and developed countries and compels us to think upon to tackle such terrible situations very consciously to stop its further spreading. It is also brought to notice from several media and newspapers that the enhancing immunity, doing regular exercises, eating iron and vitamin food, etc. may surely help to control the viral attack. Social distancing becomes now like a routine of life. The lockdown helps in avoiding people to gather in one place to make a barrier in stopping the chain of spreading. The above-mentioned precautions may be fully implemented to the people who stayed at home but what about the other social worker like doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, housekeeping people, medicines manufacturing unit, a dispensing unit who take a high risk to go to attend their duties to save the life of others. The real spreading methods of this virus is still unknown whether it is spreading by physical contact, sneezing, cough droplets or by air like other viral disease is still questionable as many experts have their different opinion.  

In this situation, it becomes more important to consider first their health by adopting all the preventive measures considering “Jaan hai to Jahan hai.” If, a person is fit mentally and physically then only he/she will be able to help others positively. In this regard, it becomes necessary to adopt some simple but regular and routine precautionary protocol before starting our work in the morning and binding up the work at night before rest. As we know that a virus once get a favorable situation, jumps upon the host, and start replications. Since, many of our health people, news reporter, doctors, paramedical staff, etc. performing essential services, they don’t know when and where they come in contact with such invisible biological particles and thus, we have to take precautionary measures and initiate a defense mechanism in the initial stage to stop the replications.

This is very helpful in asymptomatic as well as symptomatic patients even for a healthy person too. Actually, our body system has a self-defense mechanism to stop entering any foreign material inside our body but whenever our body realizes that it is not having the requisite capacity to fight against the virus, our body itself tries to stop virus replication by increasing body temperature and that we consider as fever.  Replication process of a virus requires minimum 2-3 days or even 5 days period depending upon the condition of the body and immunity. So, we have to stop the replication in the primary stage itself for that when we feel even light pain, itching in throat, tiredness, and feverish body. Immediately, we have to start second-line treatment ourselves to make the temperature high one or two degrees Celsius. In an instance, many of us have ever seen if an animal become sick, they will prefer to sit in bright sunlight for three to four hour by their they increase body temperature. How can we do that? By frequent sipping of hot water (with tolerable temperature) half a glass every fifteen minutes till sweating starts for two days.  The increasing temperature will not provide suitable conditions to replicate in the body and within 48 – 72 hours, it may kick the viruses out without replications even kill also.
The drinking hot water at the first time may feel unlike for that we may take 2-3 black dates or some grain of raisins (kismis) to help in the drinking water. Apart from that, we have to involve iron-rich fruits (apple, black raisins) or vegetables (spinach), vitamin C rich fruits like amla, lemon, orange, and amino acid-rich food like sprout grains, zinc (papaya or watermelon seeds). We must avoid cold drink, dairy products, etc. In this way, we may enhance our immunity to fight against this disease and also to reduce susceptibility to further attack.
