Vadodara: When Rajesh Patel was 35 years old (the name changed) landed at his clinic with a severe infection in his nose, he was surprised.
Patel’s throat had burned injury and his nose’s mucosa was seriously damaged.
When asking, Patel told Dr.
Parita Pandya Shah that he had been drinking a ‘Ukalo’ (a mixture of herbs) for the past few weeks to increase its immunity.
“Having too many hot herbal mixes burned his throat.
I did almost 75 mucoric operations during the second wave of Covid and most of the patients had tried several other home medicines.
Many of these Musormycosis patients had squeezed lemon juice in their nostrils because they felt that they felt that will prevent the virus from entering their bodies through the nose, “said an ENT specialist.
“Lemon juice, in fact, exposes them further to infection.
Lemon has citric acid that damages the mucous layer and allows the virus to enter the body through the nose.
Some of my patients even put black pepper on their nose,” Shah Toi said.
The doctor said that covid and non-covid patients tried various home remedies they read on WhatsApp or website.
People think that such home remedies are harmless and can prevent covid but they end up at the doctor’s clinic.
Shah treats many patients who have burned injured in their throats because of the nostrils of excessive hot water or consumption of ‘UKAILO’.
“The majority of cases that I treat are gastric ulcers and hyperasicity because of consumption of ‘kacha’.
Either Covid and non-Covid patients have too many ‘kadha’ which not only causes pain in the stomach but also cause burns in their throat,” said Dr.
Pankaj Gupta, Doctor of Consultant, MD (Medicine).
Gupta added that such experiments cause more danger to people who have been infected with Coronavirus.
Doctor Dr.
Bhavesh Patel has also found many cases like that.
“I have treats many patients who suffer from side effects because of excessive consumption of ‘Ukalo’ including ulcers.
Some often vomit.
Such home remedies are done excessively because of anxiety to prevent covid.
People can choose the Ayurvedic drug but they must first Consult a doctor and take a dose under medical supervision.
Please don’t believe in WhatsApp messages, “Patel said.
“People also suffer from gastric ulcers, who threaten lives, because they consume various types of ‘UKAILO’ to increase their immunity.
Excessive consumption of the mixture of herbs has many side effects.
People should not rely on passed messages and always consult with Doctors rather than trying home treatment excessively, “said Dr.
