A List of the things including Japanese food I could eat while I, a certain Japanese, infected with COVID-19 and felt pain in my throat. (Personally)

I am Japanese. I write this blog not only in Japanese but also in English. But I'm not good at English very much, so I think that there are many mistakes in my English. I appropriate your understanding.

Last month, I got infected with COVID-19 for the first time. Some symptoms appeared like fever and feeling of fatigue. The most things annoyed me was pain in the throat.

The pain was as if there are many tears wound in my throat.

When I drunk beverage, my throat hurt. It was even difficult to drink water.

I'll write what food and beverage I could eat and what food and beverage I couldn't eat at that time.

This note is written by me who has no expertise. And this is my own personal opinion. Please understand.

I could eat

Miso soup and Japanese soup stock "Dashi"

I couldn't drink water because of feeling pain, but I didn't feel pain when I drink Miso soup and Dashi.

Before, I saw the Twitter's post that "When I get COVID-19 and had pain in throat, I could drink only Kobutya*1 ". I wonder salt relieved pain.

Soba and Udon

I could drink Dashi, so it was easy to eat Soba and Udon because Dashi is used them.

When I swallowed noodles, I felt pain a little. But I could eat them.

Frozen gratin

I don't know why but I could eat frozen gratin with little pain. I thought that it gives me pain if gratin is hot, so I ate it after cooling.

Banana taste's Jelly drink

I felt pain when I drink this but the pain was weaker than water and Pocari Sweat*2

Honey

I often hear honey is good for throats. So I tried it. It was easy to swallow because of sticky. And I didn't feel pain much.

Difficult to eat

Water

Water hurt my throat very much. Tears came out because of pain. I had to drink water to take medicines and not to be dehydrated. So, I drunk water forcibly. The most thing which makes me think never infect with COVID-19 was "Difficult to drink water".

Pocari Sweat*2

It hurt my throat more than water. So, I couldn't drink it. Despite pocari Sweat has salt, why did it hurt my throat so much? There are the opinion "Pocari didn't hurt my throat" on the internet by other people. The things hurt our throat may be different depending on the person.

Hard food

When I swallowed hard food, I felt pain as if hard food scratches my throat.  

This is all I can remember!

While I infected with COVID-19 and felt pain in my throat, I couldn't water and Pocari. Then, my pee became too thick. I thought that I will be dehydrate without change. So I drunk water forcibly. I want to infect COVID-19 never. Everyone, let's spend our life healthily. The people who felt pain in your throat now, please take care!!
