I’m so nervous

[Cimmy]

Why!!!!!! My stomach is churning and I feel very edgy, my daughter and granddaughter are in well with a cough and runny nose but they have both tested negative which is good but tell my nerves that, I’m just waiting for something bad to happen and I can’t shake that feeling. My daughter is a single parent and she is in her own with my 6 year old granddaughter, she too is feeling very nervous and I can’t help her. What can I do to shift this horrible feeling. I just want them to be healthy and safe. Sorry for the long post, just needed to get it off my chest I suppose. How can I reassure them when I can’t reassure myself,

Hello, Firstly you have to put things into perspective, I guess you are worried about this new variant of Covid. Part of the trouble also is governments are scaring millions of people that every little sniff and cold or flu symptom is a sign you have caught Covid. I can reassure you all things being equal. The chances are your daughter may just have a flu or a cold. Yes, keep a close eye on matters. Tell her to keep well hydrated, warm and try to avoid contact with others as much as feasibly possible. It will clear within a week. Take vitamin C like in fruit ect or a tablet like I do. Secondly, over stressing and worrying will only have a knock on effect on your daughter and granddaughter, so try to reassure them it will be ok. You always have a GP if things get worse or inflame beyond just a cough. Vick, with menthol, dissolved in a hot bowl of water and a towel to open up the airways and help clear the chest. They may both need an inhaler spray (Ventolin) just to ease the lungs down if they persist. Please try not to over dwell on the Covid pandemic. yes, be aware but try to rationalize with this. Take good care of yourself and hope in any way this helps x ps...Merry Christmas,

Thank you for your reassuring reply, my granddaughter now has a temperature and is not wellSo going to take her for a pcr test and then contact doctor tomorrow, she’s ok in herself I suppose but I think she has a infection as she has been bunged up

For a week now so best to be safe. Your are so right about the Covid situation it makes things a hundred percent worse

With what could just be flu. I’m a very anxious person and magnify everything out of proportion so feeling very anxious now. Merry Christmas and thanks
