How to fight high temperature after COVID-19 infection?
In the case of a fever lower than 38,5 degrees Celsius, it should not be lowered so as not to inhibit the immune system. However, it is worth observing her regularly. If the fever is rising and becoming “rippling” and recurs after less than four hours after paracetamol administration, and bronchitis is suspected, your doctor will recommend a medication for thinning the bronchial secretions. If the fever exceeds 39,5 degrees, then you should take 1 thousand. a milligram of paracetamol and take a bath in water at 15 degrees Celsius for 28 minutes. It is worth having at home Fever kit: contactless thermometer + gel compress. A good thermometer will allow you to monitor your fever regularly, and a compress will help lower your fever if it becomes too high.

What about the respiratory system?
To help the respiratory system, the doctor recommends breathing exercises, e.g. blowing in a water bottle 10 strong exhalations several times a day. If any breathing strain occurs, check the oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter. If it is above 94, then we should do some relaxation exercises and calm down. If the result is below 89, you should call the ambulance because the coronavirus is starting to win.
