SHORTNESS
OF BREATH.
COVID-19 causes shortness of breath,
it is usually one of the main symptoms because this potentially deadly virus
attacks the lungs, which causes a deficiency in the functioning of the down.
The patient who suffers from the symptoms can suffocate quite regularly and
even the patient who is asymptomatic can suffer from it less frequently.
As this symptom has been detected, the patient can
do small breathing exercises, that is, blow into a bag, take short breaths for
30 seconds and among others. Because you can lose control of your breathing by
making a smooth movement, this is why there have been cases where patients need
oxygen.
In the long term, it can be dangerous because the patient may be
dependent on oxygen.
FATIGUE.
Researchers at the University of Leeds (UK) have
identified a long-term pattern of symptoms that people who were hospitalized
with the COVID-19 infection are
likely to experience.
The most frequent symptom was fatigue. More than 60% of the people who had been
treated in a ward reported fatigue and a third of them described it as moderate
or severe. For patients who had been in intensive
care, 72% reported fatigue. Of them, more than half said it was moderate or
severe.
People with COVID 19 present fatigue as one of the
main signs of this disease due to the weakening of the immune system that
causes a general imbalance of other vital functions.
RUNNY
NOSE.
Among the symptoms of COVID-19, there
is a runny nose and it is particularly one of the most recurrent
among the victims of this virus. At the same time, it causes the nose to turn a
reddish color.
If you suffer from allergies, it can be a very complicated situation for
the patient since they should not be exposed to outside and they will be kept
in an isolated room. It will not have ventilation to avoid outside contact to
the room.
WE MUST NOT CONFUSE RUNNY NOSE WITH ALLERGIES, for more information see the

FEVER.
Fever is, in fact, one of the most
common. In practically all the positive cases for CORONAVIRUS, the patient showed this symptom according to the data
available to the National Health System.
fever during the illness is an indication that the body has
activated the immune system to fight the pathogen, in this case fevers of 37 °
onwards occur.
PNEUMONIA.
COVID-19 can start with pneumonia,
it is an infection that inflames the air sacs of one or both lungs. The air
sacs may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), leading to a cough with
phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and shortness of breath. Various microorganisms,
such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause pneumonia; however, in this
case, it is due to COVID-19.
Pneumonia can range in severity from mild to life
threatening.
As the disease progresses, it may have complications that must be taken
care of immediately by a doctor, who will prescribe the corresponding
antibiotics.

COUGH.
Coughing is one of the most common
symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19).Coronavirus
cough is dry, persistent, and can leave a person short of breath. That's because the disease irritates the lung
tissue.
People may be coughing due to
another condition not caused by the new coronavirus. A wet cough involves phlegm that moves from
the lungs and lower airways into the mouth.
A dry cough, such as that caused by
COVID-19, does not produce phlegm. It
usually starts at the back of the throat and produces a barking sound.
DIARRHEA
AND NAUSEA/VOMITING.
It is rare but possible that patients infected by
the virus present these symptoms, however, they usually have it at the
beginning of the conditions as if their body indicated that they should be
alert.
It usually presents disgust or the feeling of nausea, later if an
annoying factor is found, it can generate vomiting. On the other hand, you may
only have diarrhea accompanied by severe pain in the abdominal area.
He recommends that the patient be hydrated and positioned in the fetal
position to relieve pain.
In case of complications, you should see a doctor immediately.
SORE THROAT.
If you do get COVID-19, you won't necessarily have all of the above symptoms. And some will manifest themselves stronger
than in other patients. The important
thing is to know how to identify them, especially a sore throat, which although
it can be announced with an itch, inflammation, irritation and redness, but how
to associate this last symptom with the Coronavirus and not confuse it with any
other disease.
Dr. Manuel Menduiña Guillén, specialist
in internal medicine and member of Doctoralia in Spain, explains that the sore
throat of COVID-19 is accompanied by
a dry cough, if the latter does not occur, the first discomfort can be attacked
from otherwise and should not be associated with the Coronavirus. In addition, patients infected with the new
virus have agreed that they have difficulty eating due to the pain they
present.
LOSS
OF SMELL/TASTE.
This symptom can last
the rest of the patient's life depending on the severity with which it resided
in his body, on the contrary, it will only present the first days in an intense
way and as the days go by it will return to normality.
if you have these symptoms, you
should see a doctor.
HEADACHE.
Headache is one of the
manifestations of infection by the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Some medical
organizations consider it the third most frequent global symptom and the features
that differentiate it from other types of headache, the implications on the
prognosis and the most effective treatments are becoming better known. The
specific headache associated with Covid-19 It is characterized, above all, by
the following features:
·
It gets worse with exertion.
·
Increase with head movements.
·
It can wake the patient at night.
·
It is oppressive in character.
Its location is variable. In patients who already suffered from
headaches before contracting Covid-19, aggravation of pain is common.
BONE PAIN.
Bone pain during Covid-19 disease is an unlikely
symptom, and even reserved for patients with advanced disease. Arthritis could be one of the causes of the
presence of these symptoms during the condition. The pain becomes strong and increases with
effort, it can cause immobility of small joints and, it is being studied if it
causes secondary damage to the disease
Did you know that many of the patients with
COVID-19 are asymptomatic?
Of the 734k confirmed cases of
patients with COVID-19 in Mexico, more than 50% of those are asymptomatic,
according to data from the infobae.
Some infected people never develop
symptoms. And these cases can be considered truly asymptomatic.
However, the experience of some
physicians has convinced them that many people have rather minimal symptoms.
"They don't even notice them, but for some reason they get tested and come
out positive (for the coronavirus)," says Luis Ostrosky, an epidemiologist
and infectious disease specialist at the University of Texas at Houston.
Remember, COVID-19 is not a
government invention. The symptoms of COVID-19 are real and the complications
they produce are real too.
