(We Chinese in America Media Editor Tang Zhao, January 20, 2022) Lu Jianjie shared his secret recipe for relieving symptoms, and suggested continuing epidemic prevention, but if you are hit, you must remain optimistic.

Due to the high infectivity of the mutated virus Omicron, the number of confirmed cases of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) has soared every day, and many Chinese have also won bids one after another. In the United States, most people with mild symptoms of new coronary pneumonia are required to self-care at home; although most people are not in serious condition, many patients have obvious symptoms and are still quite uncomfortable. After winning the bid, some Chinese people tried various ways to relieve their symptoms and hoped to share their "sick diary" with everyone, hoping that if someone is also unfortunate enough to get sick, they can feel better and recover sooner.

Ken Jianjie, who lives in San Jose and used to run several Japanese restaurants, was recruited in early January. After a period of fighting the virus, he has successfully "turned from yang to yin" a few days ago. He said that in addition to taking OTC medicines that relieve pain and inflammation, he also tried "old Chinese methods" such as gargling with spirits and electric blankets to force sweat.

Lu Jianjie said that he tested at home on January 12 and found the diagnosis, but the actual time, location, and chain of infection are unknown. "But I think it doesn't make much sense to investigate the source of the infection anyway." Eating, entertainment, surfing the Internet, watching TV, and resting did not have much impact, the most intense symptoms were cough and sore throat, "the throat and gums were obviously swollen, very, very painful, almost never before pain."

He pointed out that when the pain was unbearable, he remembered that there was an old pain relief method of gargling with spirits, so he took out Luzhou Laojiao liquor at 52 degrees to try, "However, you can only rinse your mouth, don't swallow it. Go on. After all, when you are sick and taking medicine, you can't drink." After rinsing my mouth, I took painkiller and anti-inflammatory medicine, and then I felt much better, and the pain disappeared. However, because I thought that my health was not very good, I was worried and went to the hospital for examination. After a lot of tossing, I did blood tests and film scans. Fortunately, except for the positive for new coronary pneumonia, there were no major problems. "Nothing was different, and the doctor didn't prescribe any other medicine, so he ordered to drink more water, rest more, and test the virus situation of the new coronary pneumonia in a few days."

After waking up from a nap at noon the next day, I found that my throat and gums were very painful, so I gargled my mouth with white wine again, and took anti-inflammatory painkillers, as well as a cold medicine. In addition, an electric blanket was added, hoping to force the sweat out like a "sauna". "I was sweating profusely, and the effect was good. Later, the coughing situation was also relieved a lot."

On January 14, although I still felt sore throat and gum pain, it was much better, at least more than half of the worst time. He repeated the previous "Old Chinese method", gargling with spirits several times, and then gargling with warm water. In addition, vitamin C is supplemented to enhance resistance, as well as some anti-inflammatory medicines.

He said that the next day, that is, on January 15, when he tested the new COVID virus again, he had successfully changed from positive to negative. Of course, it is likely that he has been recruited for many days, and it is time to turn negative, but his method has indeed relieved his symptoms a lot. "Everyone's experience is different, maybe my method is also helpful for some people. Anyway, when I saw that the test rods were no longer the two winning bids, but only one blue, I was really excited and happy!"
