She also had high BP, sugar, obesity, hypothyroidism and constipation.\r\nAfter admitting her to the isolation ward, her condition was thoroughly investigated and nasal swabs sent for COVID-19 RT PCR test to nearest facility. The patient underwent a complete medical check-up by a team of senior consultants across specialities, considering her age and other pre-existing ailments. Various tests for other existing co-morbidities were also performed.\r\nShe was diagnosed with pneumonia, consistent with COVID-19 infection. Treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia began immediately under Government and ICMR guidelines. She was given high pressure oxygen throughout her treatment. The best care possible care was given to her, overseen by our team of reputable doctors and efficient nurses. A nutritious diet helped build her immunity because, generally, our body\u2019s immune system lessens as we grow older and it gets harder to fight diseases.\r\nOur very own consultant pulmonologist Dr. Somnath Das of IQ City Medical College Hospital and his respiratory team oversaw the patient\u2019s treatment. Her age and other comorbidities were an obstacle for her treatment but her condition kept improving and she responded well to treatment and other supportive care. After 10 days of treatment, a nasal swab sample came back negative for COVID. She was discharged, fully recovered, much to the relief of a grateful family. Two weeks later, after a follow-up in the OPD, she was declared absolutely fit, and was full of renewed confidence.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section><section class=\"csr-sec pt-50 pb-90\">\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<div class=\"csr-list\">\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-xs-12\">\r\n<div class=\"csritem\">\r\n<div class=\"csr-img\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":3454,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-3451","success-story","type-success-story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Senior Patient Recovers from COVID-19<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Inspiring recovery!
