Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

Well, the good news is that I believe we now have the mask culture, which the Japanese and Koreans have when they are having a cold. At least it marks you as someone to avoid . Which is fine for me as I'm not inclined to talking to strangers I don't know. It's going to be mask on for me for as long as it is allowed, everywhere I go, even when I exercise.

Anyway, social gatherings are allowed in the office without a limit on numbers now, and this almost inevitably includes eating and drinking (unmasked).

Yes, our office is having a dinner event this evening. :rahrah:

I just hope kids continue to mask-on in classrooms and tuition centres… i know we can say, ourselves mask on dont bother about the rest … but some centres have many kids and some really talk a lot…I got quite a shock when I went to tuition ctr recently…huh so noisy one arh…aiyo so long never see kids running around lol.

I can't imagine that any place will forbid people from wearing masks, except briefly for identification purposes!

I also agree that a culture that encourages someone with a respiratory illness to wear a mask is a really good thing. I also hope that more workplaces will allow WFH more readily when someone has a mild cold not sufficiently serious to require MC.

Now dh ok Leow , negative
Me : I got high fever , a bit running nose,worst is the throat! I had Covid sore throat plus two ulcers - swollen throat ( ate a deep fried curry puff n nuggets last Fri n Sat before sick on sun. So I wonder is it bcoz I body heaty so my Covid symptoms so bad ! Fever , headache etc
This sore throat is bad , pain till can cry esp night n morning . Cough with green phlegm too
Day 5 for me now , so much better .
Drink herbal tea, use throat spray to put in medicine , eat the Chinese Lian hua medicine in between western medicine to expel body toxins.
So Covid is still around n alive !
Just a matter of time when one will catch

But with vaccinations n booster , should b ok, I din expect will catch it fr dh fr US imported !
Once if u feel sore n dry throat , avoid spicy n heaty food , to prevent throat to get worst !

Just curious , those who got Covid, do u get throat ulcers or just a sore throat?

[MrsKiasu]

Mouth ulcers I got it quite frequently since young. I just recovered from ulcers…sometimes in the morning I also kinda ask is it covid? When woke up drier throat so I always look at my kids see if they are ok. And see after morning it gets better…


So far Covid cases the throat will be extraordinary pain is it?? Poor mp, feel like crying means must be very terrible even adults also cant stand it.

Hope your family getting better and have fully recovery soon, mp!

I also have the impression covid getting lesser around…then my friend told me colleague now covid on MC but seems like just had asymptomatic covid earlier of the month…I was like huh…should be full flare up now is it cannot be reinfection within such short period right.

Oh...no...I am sorry to hear you have been suffered from Covid Symptoms. Yes, my DH got high fever, sore throat and loss of taste and smell during our \"Covid Period\". I have a mild sore throat but severe coughing and swollen gums with bleeding when I brushed my teeth (mouth infection). I took some TCM herbs to get rid of the heat in my body.
Please drink more water and rest well and hope you and your family get well soon.

Oh dear, MP. Please get well soon with enuf rest & care. I went thro so at least u’stand some of yr symptoms.

Ulcers usually arises fr too much late nights but in yr case covid. In my experience, covid causes all the heaty symptoms - ulcers, fever, sore throat, headaches, bodyaches, etc. At the same time, I got those runnynose & phlegm (loads of it).

My gff brought me packs of Lian Hua Qingwen Jiaonang coz hubby cldnt find them on the shelves then but I’ve nvr touched them. It’s not specific to covid but a normal flu capsule reducing fever. Reason why I’m averse coz I don’t know if it’s got components that’re harmful to my organs. It’s just me. Nothing scientifically supported.

What helped me was various symptoms relieving, off- pharmacy medication :-

1. Sore Throat - Orasyl gargle
2. Runnynose - NeilMed nose rinse
3. Fever - Panadol (took for 2 days)
4. Ulcers - Oralbase

It is the long covid that annoys me most coz after having close myself in my room for 7 days & not going out for 2 weeks, I feel annoyed for being forgetful, headaches and I believe my gut issues might be related lingering issues or that the bacteria affected gut acts as a pre-existing condition that turn my health topsy turvy.

Get well MP 🙏🏻
Drink more, rest more.

My husband and several of my colleagues have had Covid (but not me), and they all had sore throat. But none described it as anything as bad as yours, and no mention of ulcers. My husband says his symptoms were milder than normal flu.
