Abstract

One of the disease that has been and is still in the talk of the world, is COVID-19 and its variants and its complications. These are caused by the virus SARS-COV-2. The Novel corona (COVID-19), marked its start in 2019, with the first case appearing in Wuhan, China during the month of December. In India, the first case was recorded in Kerala in January 20201. In Telangana, the first case was reported in March 2020. It is a droplet or airborne infection which has been widespread in 3 waves across the world by different variants of the virus (alpha, beta, delta, gamma, omicron being the latest) and now a new variant of omicron namely Omicron BF.7 has been escalating lately. It mainly affects the respiratory system causing mild to severe pneumonia. Other symptoms include anosmia, ageusia, dyspnoea, fatigue, sore throat, fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, etc. It is diagnosed mainly by RT-PCR testing, other tests include TMA and RT-LAMP. Thus, the main aim of this study is to assess the severity of fatigue in post-COVID-19 in adults by using the Fatigue assessment scale and to find the efficacy of homoeopathic remedies in treating this post-COVID fatigue. The objective is to evaluate the severity of post-COVID fatigue and to find the efficacy of homoeopathy in treating post-COVID fatigue.
