Nigerian doctor narrates how he defeated Covid-19 days after testing positive

A Nigerian doctor has taken to Twitter to narrate how he started showing symptoms for Covid-19, after he tested positive.

Dr Terry with the Twitter handle said that he went through the very hard symptoms like fever, throat pain, chest pain, vomiting, diarrhea, chickenpox, among others.

The medical officer said the time was really a difficult one for his family, friends, coworkers, and the hospital where he works.

Dr Terry said that he was free of Covid-19 symptoms for days before he tested negative for the virus. He, therefore, advised everyone out there to be very careful by adhering to all safety rules like wearing face masks, regularly washing hands, and staying away from public gatherings.

The Covid-19 survivor said that Covid-19 is very real, saying though he survived it, others might not.

Below is his thread of tweets:

I started having symptoms of COVID-19 23 days ago. I got tested and result came out positive.
I went through a torrid time with symptoms such as; fever, headache, throat pain, chest pain, vomiting, diarrhea, swollen lymph nodes and chicken pox like skin eruptions for 14 days

It was a difficult period of time for me, my family, friends, colleagues and the management of the hospital where I work.
I’m most appreciative to God for sparing my life and healing me. Also, to my family, friends, colleagues,

management of Nisa Premier Hospital Jabi and everyone who took out time to call me, text me, pray for me or send food/drugs, I’m Most grateful.
