Nischal Devadatha caught Covid with his father.
While the case was mild, his father brought a heavy viral load.
He finally gave up on the virus.
This is the story

I want to share my covid story with you and maybe increase awareness about several things.
My father and I began to experience gastrointestinal problems but not fever, coughing, chest pain or shortness of breath or other textbook symptoms; We don’t come into contact with anyone who is positive.

I managed my stomach problems but made my father talk to online doctors who diagnosed it as gastroenteritis and probiotics prescribed along with several other drugs.
When we didn’t feel fine even after a few days and in fact we experienced a lot of fatigue, I decided to test myself first.
My report returned negative and I was suggested by my uncle who was also a doctor to test my parents the next day.
I arranged a collection of RT PCR houses and after 2 days we received the results – my mother was negative and my father was positive with a relatively high viral load.
We immediately talked to the doctor and started treatment.
The CT score is 10/25 and mine 5/25 and we are advised that this can be managed at home if the oxygen saturation persists.
I made trackers to monitor spo2 and temperature every hour and also reminders for treatment and water.
The same night’s oxygen began to fall below 85 and the state of his mind was also changed.
This is during the peak of the second wave when the hospital has far exceeded the capacity and there are no beds available anywhere.
We got help from my sister’s classmates in the hospital on the outskirts of the city and moved them to the hospital at 2:30 a.m.
The oxygen saturation increased to 96 with oxygen support but the mental state was still changed and blood investigation revealed the CRP more than 100 so that he acknowledged and started at IV and drugs along with remdesivir.
On the second night, his condition deteriorated and he had to use a ventilator, his saturation was good with the support of the ventilator and reached 99 the following morning he woke up and despite saturation without oxygen support in the 70s, he felt good enough to walk and could eat and could drink.
Blood report shows CRP has diminished to 50 but IL-6 levels still increase.
The same night, the oxygen began to fall and he could not breathe using a bipap machine.
I was called to check him because he refused to wear NIV masks.
The oxygen continued to drop and he said he could feel everything collapsed – it was the last few words he told me before he was holding a heart stop and died.
My father is a very strong person and will never go to a sick hospital.
I only knew my father was not himself in the days before being accepted and in a fully modified mental state that I was told was caused by a virus that affected CNS.
In losses like this, we are always haunted by questions about what can be done differently while being burdened with the fact that nothing can be changed.
My mother and I recovered with mild symptoms and still didn’t know why it only affected my father so dramatically.
If I can give 2 cents to anyone who reads this at this time of work, it is for test proactively.
My father did not have a covid indication, he was not related to anyone.
He hadn’t even left the house in a few months.
What he has is a gastrointestinal problem.
I will urge everyone to test without delay and I believe the doctor also does the same thing with a new variant, and more than anything, is important for us to make those people affected safely and comfortably.
I was with my father all day staying at his hospital.
I can only draw some meaning from the fact that I never left the side.
I know the situation is scary for everyone and people worry about their own well-being but now more than before it is important for us to be there for what we love.
Did you fight Covid-19? We want to hear all about it.
Etimes lifestyle calls all that survived Covid to share their stories about survival and expectations should not be considered a substitute for doctor’s advice.
Please consult a doctor treats you for more details.
