People getting Covid19

Same here, except instead of crest I load up on pepsodent. I’ve seen it here once or twice but it’s just not the same.

Just about recovered from it…shifting a residual cough.

Eldest daughter brought back from primary school. She had a high fever, but tested negative for 2 days. When her fever dropped off on 3rd day, that’s when she tested positive, and then it went through the family.

Everyone got sick. Wife and helper tested negative, myself and youngest tested positive. Took me 6 days to clear.

Sore through was really painful, I went through a lot of lozenges and honey/ lemon water.

Lesson - any signs of fever, just consider worst case and isolate until certain for ART negative…we know the virus transmission is high during asymptomatic stages.

Also - not all ART kits are the same. I have seen the Chinese ones to be less sensitive….

I use the government issued ART kits that my workplace gives out. I had a very high fever about two weeks ago, close to 39°. Took an AR to test immediately because I was worried about spreading it to family luckily came out negative. I was also battling a pretty bad ear infection at the time so that may have had something to do with it.

Today 7th day for my helper. We had 3 aces this morning! All 3 of us Negative now. Wife & I have been negative all along, helper was negative yesterday as well but I wanted to wait till today. All clear 2 days running. My helper only a chills last Friday night up till Sat noon, no fever, aches, sore throat or any other symptoms Sunday I test her and that when we did her as positive so actually she was clear probably on Friday but safety first.

Good to hear. Nice to hear that none of you had any bad symptoms- from what I’ve read, the omicron variant tends to come with a pretty killer sore throat.

Welcome to the forum BarJim. You can get throat lozenges just about everywhere in SG. People here consume them even when they are not sick. I would venture to say that lozenges are more popular than ordinary sweets.

Just about any grocery store or even the tiny corner store has them. The brands are plentiful… Fisherman’s Friend, Ricola, Wood’s, Hacks and Halls to name a few. For the more medicinal ones, Strepsils, Robitussin & Difflam are some prominent examples — these are sold over the counter at pharmacies like Guardian/Watsons.

Personally, I find the local throat lozenges are not very effective. I suspect it is because people here treat them like ordinary sweets, so they are formulated with less potency. I know from experience that Halls sold here is not as effective as Halls sold in the US, and we always bring back a few packs and keep them in our fridge so they don’t melt. Cepacol is the only brand of sore throat lozenge that I have ever found to be effective, for me anyway.

The reason he is asking is he doesn't know squat about Singapore as he's a spammer in the UK. I didn't delete his two posts as they were actually harmless but as I guessed, it would provide a breeding ground later. So he's been locked out, don't waste any more time with him. - Mod
