Nadia Montenegro and Ynna Asistio


In a post on Instagram, Ynna revealed that she also tested positive for COVID-19.

Actress Nadia Montenegro and daughter Ynna Asistion are survivors of COVID-19.

In a post on Instagram, Ynna revealed that half of their family had contracted the virus.

She wrote, "Did RT-PCR test because I was supposed to leave for Bicol when the test came out that afternoon."

"I was negative but the sad part is mom tested positive. So automatically the whole house PUI na.

Later on, Ynna found out that she also tested positive.

"I started as asymptotic and when I reached my 5th day I started to feel mild symptoms like cold sweats, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite (but I didn't lose my senses of smell and taste), nausea, and shortness of breath.

"What bothered me the most, when I woke up is the pain I felt in my lower back. I panicked and called Doctora Melissa our family doctor and went to check on me.

"She said I was starting to develop phlegm and asked to have oxygen ready. So I followed just to be sure.

"Everytime I breathe, I would feel a sharp pain a stabbing pain on my back but my oxygen level was normal.

"I could breathe normally pero mabigat and masakit."

To be able to recover, Ynna admitted to using the controversial Ivermectin.

"For 2 weeks I took Ivermectin and loaded up on vitamin c and water and as much as possible small movements lang coz I get tired easily.

"I allowed my body to rest but I also did everything to fight the virus."

In the end, Ynna used the hashtag #isurvivedcovid.
