It was 10th April morning . I had got my Covid Positive report . I had informed my wife and my parents about it. Initially we generally inform less people about being positive . I don't know what it is , it feels like a taboo or something to be positive. Whether people treat u the same or not but in our heads we feel they will treat us differently. 

I went for CT scan as suggested by my doctor . My CT score was 3 which suggested it was MILD but the virus had infected my lungs. 

My doctor put me on course for FabiFlu treatment. This is a 7 days treatment course where one need to consume 18 tablets on day one , 9 tablets after lunch and 9 after dinner. In the remaining 6 days we need to consume 4 tablets twice a day. In total a covid patient need to consume 66 tablets of FabiFlu in 7 days. In addition to it there are other medicines too. The reason we need to consume so many tablets is because currently they are providing FabiFlu of 200mg , once they start producing higher capacity one,  eg 400mg or 800mg the requirement of number of tablets will reduce. 

With the FabiFlu treatment along with other medicines my fever started reducing and by the 3rd day i had no fever . I started to hope that everything is on the right track and I will recover soon. But there was one worry. Though fever had reduced , one more symptom started to show up - COUGH. 

I have had a tumultuous history with cough since childhood. I was very prone to cough and cold as a child. During every seasonal change I used to get sick and my cough and cold used to last for week's. It was in last year's lockdownthat II finally found a solution to it - YOGA . It's another days discussions that one. 

My cough started increasing . I started getting these bouts of cough especially after waking up in morning. Also if I ate something there was cough. Though I downplayed it , it was my wife who pointed out that it was not reducing rather increasing. 

I consulted my doctor and he suggested i go for CT scan once i near the completion of my FabiFlu treatment. Finally the day dawned . It was 16th of April and i found myself in a CT scan room . While waiting for CT scan i was standing near the entry . I was standing there for almost 15minutes and suddenly I started to sweat. I felt uneasy and wanted to sit. It was as if i couldn't stand any more sweating profusely. I went outside sat for a while and returned for the scan. The scan was done and i returned home almost sure that everything will be fine and i have beaten this deadily virus. I had so easily  forgotten my 15mins predicament before CT scan. So foolish of me . 

My FabiFlu course was on its last day . Though there was cough and my oxygen level was hovering around 95,  i thought the worst had past. 

I couldn't have been more wrong in my life. “Picture to abhi baki hai mere dost". 

That evening i got the CT scan report.  I had almost made up my mind that it would be less than 3 ,my precious CT score . I was shocked to see . It was 8/25. 

In 6 days of FabiFlu treatment the ct score went from 3 to 8. In order to judge the seriousness of COVID the CT score  os an important parameter. A score between 0 - 8 is treated as MILD , between 8 - 15 is treated at MODERATE and above 15 is severe. 

My score was 8 and i was on the doorstep of infection going from MILD to MODERATE. I consulted my doctor and was stunned by his suggestion. “GET ADMITTED”
