Corona Survivor Purab Kohli Speaks On The Recipe Of Beating The Virus

On  Tuesday  the nation woke  up to the shocking announcement from  actor Purab  Kohli who now  lives in  London, that Purab and his entire family were tested  positive for the  Corona  virus.

Having known  Purab for  years, I immediately  got in touch with him and he seemed  pretty calm .

Speaking exclusively  to this  writer  Purab said, “I  was a bit overwhelmed with messages yesterday after I put up  my  post about what we went  through. It wasn’t as  bad as it sounds.We are all well and much much better now.”

Going  back to  recount when it all started  Purab says, “It felt like a regular flu ,Subhash, and I didn’t believe we had it until we started talking to the GP(general  practitioner) which was on day 6 and we found out that someone we knew and were in contact with got serious with the infection and taken to hospital. By then I was already better.”

While  Purab and the  kids had  it  mild  his British wife Lucy  was  more intensely infected. “My wife was hit little harder and was feeling low even on day eight. So those couple of days it was a little worrying, but once she went into a full rest, she fought it off and recovered too.”

The  children who were  mildly affected have also recovered. And Purab is  waiting at home for  the virus  to  exit.

What is Purab’ s advice for the  infected?  “I’m not a doctor. But  whatever we did was very basic and  organic. Haldi, ginger honey mixtures to soothe the throat. My wife  was hit a little harder by the  virus .I gave her kadha(home made throat and lung beverage) home remedies that  my mother gave us when we had fever  during childhood. The  idea is  to give the  body as much rest as  possible. Because this virus can really sap your  energy.My wife felt drained  out until the  ninth day of  the  infection while I was weak until  the seventh  day. You  could also have difficulty breathing while sleeping. A  hotwater bottle on  the  chest really helps. Besides  these simple  remedies  just stay calm don’t panic and take lots  of  rest.”
