The Omicron variant has the highest transmission rate compared to the previous variant of the Covid-19 virus, namely the Covid-19 Delta variant.
Omicron has ability to replicate or reproduce itself is pretty high, so it is easily transmitted from one person to another.
However, this Omicron Variant Covid-19 virus has a lower threat level than the Delta variant.
That's because the Omicron variant only attacks the upper respiratory tract, in contrast to the Delta variant, which attacks the lung's respiratory tract tissue.
So, the Delta variant will only make the sufferer's oxygen saturation fall quickly, and the effect will cause shortness of breath. While the Omicron variant is rarely found.
Except in patients with Omicron at risk for severe symptoms such as the elderly (elderly), people with comorbidities or comorbidities and those who have not been vaccinated.
However, in front of this Omicron variant, everyone is advised to remain calm and maintain strict health protocols.
However, if you have continued to be attacked by the Omicron variant with symptoms of fever, cough, runny nose and sore throat, then immediately self-isolate.
And when doing self-isolation, it's a good idea to follow some of the healing tips given by Dr. Zaidul Akbar from Youtube Dr. Zaidul Akbar Official.
1. Consuming probiotics
The First suggestion is to consume probiotics.
Probiotics are foods or supplements that help protect the health of our digestive organs, such as the stomach and intestines.
Examples of probiotic foods include tempeh, yogurt, kefir, etc. These foods contain good bacteria to maintain our digestive health.
Healthy digestion and a balanced condition of bacteria in the body will speed up the healing process of Omicron symptoms.
2. Drink lots of water
Tips for recovering from the second Omicron virus, according to Dr. Zaidul Akbar, is to drink lots of water.
These tips eliminate the symptoms of severe dizziness usually experienced by Covid-19 patients, including Omicron.
"If you have a headache caused by Covid-19, drink more water to relieve it. Dizziness can also be caused by a lack of sugar. Usually, when people are sick, they can't drink too much water. My solution is, often drink honey water with a bit of salt, "said Dr. Zaidul Akbar.
He suggested that you should often drink honey water with a little salt. Even if you drink a small amount once, if you drink it often, the effect is the same as drinking a lot of water.
"If you drink this often, you don't have to drink a lot, at least 200 ml or 150 cc, you drink it quite often. 6 times a day is enough. So that later the dizziness can disappear, "said Dr. Zaidul Akbar.
The next tip for recovering from Covid-19 Omicron is to stay calm and not panic. According to Dr. Zaidul Akbar, calm is also important factor in healing.
3. Don't Panic
The Third tip for recovering from the Omicron virus infection suggested by Dr Zaidul Akbar is not to panic and stress.
"So don't stress, let it go. Leave it alone, take it easy and take it easy. That serenity can be obtained from foods high in calcium and potassium. It is perfect, for example, bananas, dates, including coconut water," said Dr Zaidul Akbar.
He also recommended several spices to be consumed when exposed to the Covid-19 Omicron virus. Among the spices that can also increase immunity are ginger, galangal, cloves, and lemongrass.
4. Nutritional intake must be met
The fourth tip for recovering from Covid-19 Omicron, according to Dr. Zaidul Akbar is to fulfil nutritional intake.
Although sometimes it is difficult for people who are sick to eat but still try to have healthy food that comes in.
