Corona virus: fever, cough and difficulty breathing, what are the symptoms of this disease and how to stay safe from it?

According to researchers, 80% of people in the world affected by Corona have only mild symptoms and those who have these symptoms are in the minority.

So the question is how can you identify it?
What are the symptoms of Code-19?

The virus affects the lungs and the two main symptoms are fever and persistent dry cough.

According to the British National Institutes of Health, a dry cough means a sore throat that does not produce mucus.

A persistent cough means that you have been coughing for about an hour or that you have had at least three cough attacks in a 24-hour period, meaning that your cough is worse than normal.

This can also result in shortness of breath, often referred to as chest tightness, difficulty breathing or suffocation.

If your body temperature is above 37.8 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, you have a fever. Fever can cause your body to become hot, you may catch a cold or shiver

Symptoms of sore throat, headache and diarrhea have also been found in the victims, while some patients have also complained of taste and sense of smell.

It usually takes five days for a patient to show symptoms, but in some people they appear late.

According to the World Health Organization, the period from infection to the onset of symptoms is 14 days, but some researchers say it can be up to 24 days.

How many patients showed no symptoms?

Chinese scientists believe that some people can spread the infection even before they show symptoms.

According to a recent study published in the British Medical Journal, 78% of people infected with COD-19 did not have obvious symptoms, meaning they were asymptomatic in medical terms.

The results of this study are consistent with the results of a study conducted in an Italian village which became a major center of the epidemic in Corona. About 50 to 75 percent of the patients there did not show any symptoms, but they did become a major cause of its spread.

According to another study in Iceland, 50% of those who were confirmed to have code-19 had no symptoms at all.

Meanwhile, according to the results of the World Health Organization's examination of 56,000 patients:

Eighty percent had mild symptoms, such as fever and cough, and some had pneumonia.

Severe symptoms were found in 14% and these patients had severe difficulty in breathing.

06% were critically ill with lung and other vital organs failing and at risk of death.

Most people infected with the corona virus will recover after taking painkillers such as rest and paracetamol.

If you have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, you should see a doctor as this may be due to a respiratory infection or something else.

The main reason people have to go to the hospital in Code-19 is difficulty breathing.

At the hospital, doctors will examine your lungs to see how affected they are. Most sick people are transferred to intensive care units designed specifically for the seriously ill.

Coronavirus patients are given oxygen, which is given through a face mask or a nasal tube.

Extremely sick patients are transferred to a ventilator and the device injects more oxygen into their lungs through a tube inserted through a hole in the mouth, nose or throat.
