Day 9 after testing positive

I'm confused. I say I'm fine on mornings then later in the day phlegm annoys me and the day turns into a coughing mess. Things are calm today so far and I started a new medication for the phlegm as it is my only problem right now, I'm literally scared to eat lunch because I don't want this thing triggered. I'll try to eat still though so I can have the medicine. Besides this problem, everything else feels ok.

I'll most likely get PCR done on next Monday. It's kinda expensive so having it later is a good idea, because I only want to do it once.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether yes! It did I have a lingering cough and it’s annoying AF!
@SW-User Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, caused by covid-19.

There is an article available in the net titled “Case reports of observed significant improvement in patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 and maximum ventilator support after inhalation of sodium bicarbonate”.

The goal of case study was to prevent COVID-19 coronavirus from entering target cells by raising the airway pH using sodium bicarbonate (4.2 % concentration) inhalation. The article discusses about the treatment given to four patients on mechanical ventilation due to COVID-19 pneumonia. This treatment was given at Uniontown Hospital, Uniontown, PA, USA. The four patients were cured in 2 to 5 days by sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) inhalation.

Based on the above treatment, they suggest a simple plan for baking soda inhalation.

This plan is for COVID-19 cases with mild to moderate severity. Coronavirus thrives in an acidic environment. But it cannot survive if the pH value is 8.0 or more. The above principle is used in the treatment.

Steam Inhalation

First, boil 100 ml of distilled water in a kettle and dissolve 4.4 grams (0.88 teaspoons) of baking soda to it. This solution will have a pH value of about 8.4.

Attach a hose to the kettle. Breath vapour through the mouth and breath out through the nose. This has to be done for about 4 minutes. One has to do for 3 times in a day.

Nebulizing Baking Soda

If a person has a nebulizer, it can be done very easily. Nebulizer turns liquid medicine into a mist. First mix 100 ml of distilled water and 4.4 grams of baking soda by moderate heating. Then cool the liquid to room temperature. Transfer 10 ml of this liquid to nebulizer. Then turn on the nebulizer and inhale the mist.

This has to be done for 3 times in a day.

This treatment is similar to spraying baking soda solution at pH 8.4 to all cells in the air pathway of the breathing system.
