The Department of Medical Services recently issued a list of symptoms sufferers of long Covid may develop and what they can do to protect themselves.
Long Covid or post-Covid syndrome can result in symptoms lingering for more than two months.
Here are the symptoms patients suffered from after recovering from infection:
27.33% developed problems with the nervous system with symptoms such as acute weakness, headache, dizziness, forgetfulness and muscle atrophy.
32.1% developed mental conditions such as insomnia, anxiety and depression.
22.86% developed cardiovascular symptoms such as chest pain and palpitation.
44.38% were affected by respiratory problems such as shortness of breath or chronic cough.
22.8% developed external problems such as hair loss and allergic rash.
23.41% complained about tiredness, muscle ache and joint pain.
Though most of these symptoms clear over time, the department said if they persist for more than two months, then patients should visit a doctor.
Dr Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai, director-general of the Public Health Ministry’s Department of Health, said long Covid has affected up to 50 per cent of Covid-19 patients, especially those who were hit with severe symptoms.
Hence, he said, long-Covid sufferers should take care of themselves and boost their immunity by eating a balanced diet that is well-cooked and clean.
“If patients suffer from a loss of appetite, they should separate their meals into smaller ones to keep their blood sugar levels stable and prevent tiredness,” Suwanchai said.
He advised people to consume more protein such as meat, eggs, milk, cheese, beans and tofu, as well as probiotics in the form of yoghurt and fermented milk. He also advised people to consume food that is high in fibre such as grains, dried beans, bananas, onions and garlic.
People suffering from long-Covid are advised to stay away from instant or frozen meals as well as fermented, fried, greasy, heavily flavoured and hard-to-digest food. He also advised people to stay away from alcohol and instead consume vitamins and minerals to help the body recover and boost immunity, such as vitamins C, A, D, and E as well as zinc.
Travelling upcountry during Songkran and getting together with friends and family can spark a new wave of Covid-19 infections, a top virologist warned on Monday.
Chulalongkorn University’s Dr Yong Poovorawan said two 90-year-olds had asked him for advice recently. They said that they have been invited to attend their village’s “Rod Nam Dum Hua” ritual (pouring water on the hands of the elderly) and are worried that they may be opening themselves up to infection.
To prevent such problems, Yong said the festival should be modified and such rituals stopped during the Covid era. He said the organiser can reduce the number of participants and have them undergo ATK tests before getting near elderly persons. He said that all participants should receive a booster jab before attending such events.
He also advised that people with cold, cough, sore throat or fever should stay away to curb infections and losses.
The Arokaya Wellness Sala focuses on ‘prevention before cure’ with the application of natural science, herbs and innovations
The Arokaya Wellness Sala at Buri Ram’s Play La Ploen Boutique Resort has joined up with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to give tourists a chance to experience the history of Arokayasala and the use of Thai herbs. This move will make the wellness centre a new landmark in wellness tourism. Panai Saichompoo, the resort’s assistant managing director, said the Arokayasala package will include a trip into the first wellness pavilion constructed during the 1150-1160 reign of the Khmer king, Jayavarman VII. “The Arokaya Wellness Sala focuses on ‘prevention before cure’ with the application of natural science, herbs and innovations,” he said. “Treatment includes Thai, Chinese and modern traditions, as well as a cannabis clinic and a variety of products.” Apart from offering personal treatments, he said the Arokaya Wellness Sala is also cooperating with TAT to prescribe medication that is historically accurate and in line with Buri Ram’s abundance.
The resort also promotes local ingredients, with a belief that food is medicine, in a bid to boost holistic healthcare that focuses on body, mind, social and intelligence, he added. “We expect that when the Covid-19 situation returns to normal, this will help the tourism sector and local communities generate revenue sustainably,” he said. Panai explained that the tourism trail starts with paying respect to sacred objects at the Phanom Rung stone castle, built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. He said tourists will then visit the Muang Tam stone castle to study the history of Arokayasala which acted as a hospital in the 10th to 13th-century, as well as the production of 1,000-year-old Baray mud cloth and handicrafts made from reeds. “After that, tourists will go to the Arokaya Wellness Sala at Play La Ploen Boutique Resort. The resort offers accommodation, wellness centre and herb education centre,” he said.
“There, the tourists will study, do activities and visit exhibitions, such as blending four types of teas, seeing a doctor for health advice, receiving herbal treatments, such as inhaling steam from herbs containing essential oils, which help improve the respiratory system.”
They can also visit the “Diversity of Hemp” exhibition to Mark the 90th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother, as well as the “Buriram Food Series”, which offers delicacies cooked from local ingredients, including medical-grade hemp. He added that the food is cooked by the resort’s chefs who have expertise in using Thai herbs and have passed certified food standards.
“Arokaya Wellness Sala is a new project in Play La Ploen Boutique Resort and the resort’s managing director Pornthip Asadathorn has created guidelines to boost the awareness of 1,000-year-old medical treatment and to promote Thai herbs,” he said.
“We are ready to welcome visitors and offer treatment under medical experts’ supervision to create holistic healthcare and balance in health and standards.” He added that the resort had cooperated with Pakasai Resort in Krabi to provide wellness services that focus on using local herbs found in the South since early this year. “Those interested can seek advice from medical experts or more information related to wellness services at both resorts,” he added. Arokaya Wellness Sala is open daily from 9am to 6pm. Visit www.arokayawellness.com or Line @arokaya.wellness for more information.
