The pandemic has now been plaguing the world for almost a year, and businesses and communities are still trying to adjust to this new reality. Attempting to go about our regular routines and work while also adhering to government-placed SOPs can be difficult, and getting access to necessary facilities and services is as well, due to reduced staff and capacity. This can be very problematic if someone requires urgent access to medical services or regular health check-ups.
Fortunately, there are certain services available that can help if you need a medical check-up or test done, without having to put yourself, or others, at risk. One of the best is Chughtai lab home sample collection, offering a wide range of tests suited to diagnosing a variety of conditions. These tests are performed by certified professionals who collect the appropriate sample at your given address. Some of the tests offered include a blood sugar test, semen analysis, and all types of blood and urine tests and cultures.
If your medical condition simply requires a check-up by a medical professional, you may also be able to request a general practitioner to make a house-call. Many hospitals and clinics offer this service, especially in the current state of the world. In this case, it is recommended that you interact with the physician in an easily accessible place, and avoid them having to interact with others unnecessarily. Though it may be difficult, you should attempt to maintain current safety practices. Another option is an online video call, which allows you to show a physician any visual symptoms, as well as giving you safe yet still personal interactions.
If these options aren’t available to or appropriate for you, the only thing left is for you to make a trip to a local clinic or hospital. If you must do so, and the condition doesn’t require immediate attention, you should contact the service beforehand, to discuss whether facilities and staff are available for your visit.
Understand that your safety is still ultimately in your hands, and if you find that your local clinic or hospital are not following proper safety procedures, you can and should avoid putting yourself in that situation.
COVID and Home-Treatment
If you find yourself suffering from the symptoms of COVID, like a fever, continuous cough, or fatigue, you should treat yourself as having the disease and should self-isolate immediately. You shouldn’t be too concerned unless symptoms get more severe.
Like with any other illness, you need to make sure you take care of yourself during this period, and ensure you don’t overexert yourself. It’s important to stay hydrated, and avoid any medications or drugs that can aggravate your symptoms, as well as to get as much rest as possible.
There are also many over-the-counter medications you can use to reduce the severity of some of the symptoms. For example, Guaifenesin can help with mucus production and chest congestion, while acetaminophen can relieve pain and fever symptoms.
If you find your symptoms worsening, however, we highly recommend you consult a physician about what’s next and what options are available.
If you reside in Lahore, Chughtai Lab Lahore is currently the best option for in-house treatment and testing for COVID, so we suggest contacting them for help if needed, especially during the pandemic.
