Got tested corona positive today. Not having any significant symptoms. A little cough only.
My parents are senior citizens. They are not tested yet. I don’t know how to manage at home. How to stay separately from parents? Now what to do? Big crisis.
Currently wearing mask and sitting separately in the same room with them.
Both my parents got vaccinated last week. So, maybe that’s good. Worried about my parents only. What to do?

We have three rooms. But single bathroom and toilet. No other options
I would suggest atleast get your parents tested as well, and either you or your parents shift to some hotel and be isolated for atleast a week.
You can’t take risk at this time.
Hope you get well soon
I would also suggest to please get your parents tested, because they are exposed to you…… it is better to understand if they arre infected or not…. if they are (lets hope and pray they are not) please start medication for them….. also you should start medication
Immediate start multivitamin, zinc and D3 for parents..
If possible consider moving yourself to quarantine hotel.
No point testing your parents..as they have got 1st dose 99% chance they will come positive in reports. .keep them under observation for symptoms and regular O2 levels
While the antibody test might turn out to be positive.. the Covid RT-PCR test will still be negative (Post Vaccination*)

Ask a 27 year old who dies ( no co- morbidity ) .
People should stop foolishness .
Currently wearing mask and sitting separately in the same room with them.
1. Isolate yourself. Isolation means 100% isolation. If your house has a single toilet/bathroom, then you and your parents should not stay in same house. Make arrangement accordingly.
2. Get your parents tested now (rtpcr)- only if they are symptomatic. Otherwise get them tested after 5 days or when they develop symptoms, whichever is earlier.
Please get your parents tested. It’ll be preferable if they stay at some other place. Take Steam & do gargle frequently with salt & turmeric. Best wishes for quick recovery.
My cousin has just gone through the exact same situation in Mumbai 20 days back .
He had only occasional cough got tested Positive( test was done due to Airline policy)
Below is what we did
1. We immediately shifted him to hotel (As he was staying with his parents both around 65+ and grandmother 90+)..Mainly because house didnt had separate attach let-bath
2. Got the house sanitized
3. Mask 24×7 even at home…most painful part.
4. Parents/adults were started Multivitamins/Zinc/D3 and regular steam 3 times a day along with regular O2 measurement
5. Everyone stayed at home for 7-8 days as in worst case we didn’t wanted to spread
6 Parents were not tested (They had taken 1st Dose of vaccine)..but we started SOP assuming as they are also infected
7. Occasional coughing was there (I believe this is normal for Adults to cough 5-6 times a day)..But with COVID we try to be over caution
8. No other symptoms developed for parents
9 Cousin did his 2nd test after 15 days ..was still Positive CT value got increased to 28 this time from 21…he moved back to home started with some antiviral dose (Doctors says that its just initial 10 days when one can spread the virus)
Main reason to avoid testing was Grandmother. She is 90+, her + report would mean we had to hospitalize her. Which we wanted to avoid(unless she develops any sign of discomfort)
We are monitoring spo2 levels. It is 97-100. And taken steam also. We are thinking to consult doctor tomorrow for parents.
But Can’t afford to stay in hotel.
Keep all the rooms well ventilated. Use gloves. Sit in the other room. Disinfect the taps & toilet seat. Hope for the best.
After using washroom sanitize it with spray type sanitizer – be generous and sanitize fully and not to use for 10-15minutes by others
You will be alright buddy. I wish you a full recovery.
Pls suggest a good quality oxymeter
I bought this one at 999.

First of all don’t panic..Nothing will happen..Moniter oxygen level atleast thrice a day and take medicines..Zinc and Multivitamins..I was positive in November..Isolated myself for 15 days..Just don’t panic..It’s common now..
How does it change from positive to negetive
Medicine
Food
Any excercise
Sleep
Any drugless treatment
don’t worry, get well soon
You should stay somewhere else or tell your parents to live somewhere till 2 weeks at least. Also your parents should get Covid checked.
My parents have also tested corona positive today. Mom has no symptoms. Papa is having cold and slight fever.
I had called 104 helpline and asked for corona test for my parents. One doctor came home and tested and found both positive. Got same set of medicines which I got.
Azithromycin
Paracetamol
Vitamin C tablet
Vitamin D tablet
Zinc Sulphate tablet
Taking steam and monitoring SPO2 regularly now. Hoping for the best.
Any update bro?
We did RT PCR tests yesterday. Results came today. Mine is negative. My parents came positive. Mother has CT value 32 and father has ct value 26.
From gujarat ? Kahan se test karvaya?
Is it possible that your parents can stay somewhere else for the next two weeks?
You can manage though.. if there’s a separate room (+ bathroom too?)
