Before you overindulge in the food department, make sure you’re stocked up on your first aid supplies. In case you’re already on prescribed medication, stock up on at least two weeks worth. This is especially important for individuals with chronic medical illnesses like lung disease, heart disease, blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes.
In addition to your own medication, make sure you have the required things to address the symptoms of coronavirus and coronavirus-like symptoms. According to doctors, seasonal flu is common as the weather changes and not every sneeze means that you’re infected.
Keep a thermometer, fever reducing medication, cough syrup, and glucose for rehydration at home to check on your symptoms so that you don’t have to head to the doctor unless you absolutely need to.
Other basics to always have at home are antiseptics like Dettol, baid-aids, cotton, pain relievers and anti-allergy medication.
