Please Be Attention From Now On! Don't try to drink water when positive for Omicron, this is what the experts say - All Pages

Sajiansedap.com – It is no longer a secret that cases of the Omicron variant of the corona virus are rampant in the world.

In Indonesia itself, it is actively spreading and of course it causes panic.

The government also provides a solution for giving booster vaccines to every community in order to suppress the spread of this virus.

The omicron variant spreads faster than the previous virus variants.

So it’s important to take care of yourself from now on.

The symptoms of Omicron are more or less similar to the symptoms of the common cold.

Such as coughing, nasal congestion, to pain and itching in the throat.

This is what usually makes us tend to be more thirsty and want to drink continuously.

Drinks Prohibited When Infected With Omicron

However, according to Robert G. Lahita MD, Ph.D, Director of the Institute for Autoimmune and Rheumatic Disease at Saint Joseph Health, New Jersey, USA, Omicron sufferers should stay away from some of these drinks for a while.

So, what are these drinks?

Summarizing from Eat This, Not That via Kompas (10/2/2022), the following drinks should be avoided when infected with Omicron.

1. Orange Juice

You certainly know that oranges themselves are rich in vitamin C which is very good for health.

However, if you are infected with Omicron, you should avoid this drink.

The reason is, orange juice has acidic properties that can trigger discomfort in the throat area, so it will be difficult to swallow and can make symptoms worse.

“This all has to do with the Omicron variant, which causes sore throat symptoms,” explained Robert.

2. Alcohol

Alcohol should definitely be avoided when infected with Omicron, as it can make the symptoms worse.

“Alcohol is not a good idea. It can trigger a burning sensation in the throat,” said Robert.

If you want a warm drink that can help soothe your throat, you should choose other alternatives such as warm milk or ginger tea.

3. White Water

Believe it or not? Water is actually not recommended for people with Omicron to drink.

When infected with Omicron, rehydration of the body is very important, so low electrolyte drinks such as water are not enough.

Instead, choose a high-electrolyte drink like coconut water.

Moreover, if symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting occur, yes.

So, those are the three drinks to avoid when infected with Omicron.

Don’t forget it.

How to Protect Yourself from the Omicron Variant Corona Virus

Launching from Tribunnews, the results of a recent study showed the omicron variant was more likely to infect the upper respiratory tract.

This means that omicron attacks the throat more than the lungs.

This is what makes the omicron variant more easily transmitted even though it is not deadly like other Covid-19 variants.

The omicron variant is called easy to infect because it can expel millions of viruses from the nasal and throat cavities as far as 2 meters.

The former Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, Achmad Sujudi, explained that everyone must understand the transmission mechanism of the Omicron variant of the Covid-19 variant.

“From the virus spreading in the air and falling on the surface of objects, coming into contact with us and entering our bodies through the “Port d’Entre” which is none other than the nose, mouth and eyes, especially the nose which is our main respiratory tract,” said Achmad Sujudi.

He explained that avoiding transmission of this omicron must be done in the right way.

Apart from 3M (washing hands, maintaining distance and wearing masks) there are still a number of things that need to be done.

Namely by washing the nose to protect the respiratory tract.

“In addition to the 3M we know, nose sanitizer is needed to protect the respiratory tract so that it becomes 4M.”

“This nose sanitizer has been proven to kill the covid virus and has been researched and proven abroad,” said Achmad Sujuri.

“Step 4M is very important, besides washing hands with soap under running water for at least 20 seconds properly,” he added.

In addition to diligently cleaning your nose with running water or NaCl, you are also required to keep your distance.

Keeping the distance to avoid this Omicron variant must be at least 2 meters, according to the range of transmission.

Other benefits of washing the nose with NaCl include cleaning the dust and dirt that has accumulated in the nose.

Prevent infections of the nasal cavity, respiratory tract and lungs.

Reduces respiratory problems and makes the nose cleaner and fresher.
