Question : Hey Doc So I am in Isolation as I was in contact with a Corona infected Nurse until the 23rd because the exposure was on the night of 8th around 1:30am which was over 12 days ago. I have had no fever or cough. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I started taking a day ago , colloidal silver, last night my head felt heavy and I feel hot again no fever , cough or anything related to the Corona Virus. Any opinion what I am feeling here? Should I stop taking the colloidal silver? is it because of this? Or is it Anxiety? I actually started feeling this way again last night after I ate a heavy meal after not eating the whole day ( I had my Gallbladder removed in December) . Just asking if there is anything going on in me in your opinion. Thank you and stay safe. Aryeh

Brief Answer:
Stop taking colloidal silver.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I don't think the symptoms may be related to corona because you are not having fever, no cough or difficulty breathing.
I believe the heavy head , feeling hot may be related to anxiety.
You may need to stop colloidal silver because it doesn't have any proven beneficial effects neither it boosts immunity.
It can possibly cause the heavy feeling and also may cause you dehydration.
Continue to be isolated, check body temperature often,take acetaminophen for headache.
Eat healthy and drink water to keep hydrated.
Use vitamin C to bust immunity.


Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hey Doctor Olgeta and thanks for your response. I am stopping the Colloidal Silver as you suggested. I only took it for one day and the bottle was near my Induction counter top ( I have electric stove instead of gas ). So I hope that wasnt dangerous. The feeling again even when I woke up this morning is nervousness and heavy head. Will this go away? Sorry for asking this probably stupid question but this isn't godforbid causing brain damage:(. When you suggested that it might be anxiety, sometimes I take a Clonex ( Clonazepam 0.5 mg ) for this ( I don't take it everyday ) should I try and take it and see if it helps?? I just don't want to make things worst:(. Last night before sleeping I tried to take a shot of Whiskey ( I don't drink ) because it make me sleepy but it didn't work. Sorry for the long response. Waiting for your response. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Try to avoid alcohol and Clonazepam.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I don't think you that having the bottle near induction counter top us dangerous.
Also you took it only once so it can't be dangerous just can't be beneficial.
Being anxious, nervous and stressed is much common in many people facing quarantine because of coronavirus.
Try to avoid using Clonazepam or alcohol.
Try to have relaxing activities at home or physical activity at home. Watch a movie or comedy to keep distracted. Don't watch much TV programs or other information about coronavirus.
If you still can't handle it you can take Clonazepam.

Hey again Doc Olgeta I am again taking your advice avoiding Alcohol ( the only thing I drink is red win once a day but will stop for now ) and the Clonazepam will try not to to take it. It just calms me down faster for a very long time. The only time I took Colloidal Silver was inhaling it ( I cap fill ) that felt great actually,. That night 3 caps ( meaning cover of the bottle ) and then yesterday 3 in the am and 3 in Afternoon and I stopped as you suggested.. I won't info about the Virus. So you think what I am experiencing is Anxiety not poisoning from the Colloidal Silver and the Virus I was next to a nurse who has Corona between March 8th/9th at 1:30am. Your last opinion? Thanks again and stay safe Aryeh

Brief Answer:
You don't seem to be poisoned.

Detailed Answer:
I think you had a little exposure only for two days. It can help you while used over the skin because of its antibacterial properties especially in burnt wounds.
You may have felt good due to placebo effect.
As about coronavirus not all people which get exposed to infected persons get infected. Also not all develop symptoms. You had 12 days of quarantine and may follow the other two days.
You seen to be the lucky one of not taking it.
Still you should follow isolation in order to protect yourself and others.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
