Dolo for Covid-19: "I have got corona, the doctor has prescribed DOLO… I am just eating that!" — you must have heard this sentence many times in the last few years. During the corona infection, DOLO 650 became such a name that it found a place in every household. Be it fever or body ache, people started resorting to this pill without thinking. But is eating DOLO the only treatment for a serious infection like corona? Is it possible to recover from it or are there some important signs hidden behind it, which we ignore?

Why is just eating DOLO not enough?

DOLO reduces fever, but it does not kill the virus. It only provides temporary relief, which makes people think that they are getting better, but the infection can grow inside.

Corona is a viral infection and the job of DOLO is not to kill the virus. For this, it is necessary to strengthen the body's immunity and take appropriate medicines prescribed by the doctor.

Not just fever, symptoms like shortness of breath, sore throat, loss of taste and smell, weakness can also be serious in corona. In such a situation, eating DOLO and ignoring the other symptoms can be dangerous.

The right treatment for Coronavirus?

Consult a qualified doctor as soon as you are diagnosed with Corona. Every person's body is different, so the medicines and treatment also depend on the individual.

It is very important to give the body adequate rest and water. Coconut water, decoction, soup and light food help in the recovery of the body.

Take vitamin C, D, zinc etc. as per the doctor's advice. These help strengthen the body's immunity.

Check SpO2 regularly with a pulse oximeter. If the level drops below 94, seek medical help immediately.

Taking Corona lightly can be a big mistake. DOLO is only a primary relief medicine, not a complete cure. The right treatment at the right time and the advice of a doctor is the right way to recover from this disease. It is okay to be self-reliant, but getting treatment in ignorance can also be dangerous.
