Causes And Symptoms Of Coronavius:
The most common symptoms of COVID-19, according to the WHO, are fever, tiredness and dry cough. Some patients may also have a runny nose, sore throat, nasal congestion, and pain or diarrhea. But these are rare. Some people report that they lose their sense of taste and/or smell. Approximately 80 percent of people who get COVID-19 experience a mild case about as serious as regular colds and recover without any special treatment.
About one in six people, the WHO says, get seriously ill. Elderly and those with underlying medical problems, such as high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, or chronic respiratory conditions, are at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19. Coronavirus is infecting the lungs. The two main symptoms are fever and dry cough, which can sometimes lead to problems with breathing. The cough to look for is a new, continuous cough. This means to cough a lot more than an hour or to have three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours. If you normally have a cough, it might be worse than normal. Specific symptoms to look for are identified as either:
- High temperature – it means that you will feel hot if you touch your chest or back.
- A new continuous cough – this means that you've started coughing repeatedly.
Treatment Of Coronavirus:
Another key unknown here is how contagious the coronavirus is. A crucial difference is that, unlike influenza, there is no new coronavirus vaccine, which makes it more difficult for vulnerable members of the population, the elderly or those with existing respiratory or immune problems to protect themselves. Hand-washing and avoiding other people are important if you feel ill. Now that someone with symptoms should stay at home for at least 7 days. If you live with others, they should stay at home for at least 14 days to avoid spreading the infection outside the home. It extends to all, whether or not they have travelled abroad. Since this is viral pneumonia, there is no need of antibiotics. Antibiotics will not work. The antiviral drugs that we have against influenza will not work, and there is currently no vaccine available. Your immune system will be responsible for your recovery.
The best thing to do is to wash your hands regularly and thoroughly, preferably with soap and water. Coronavirus spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, small droplets, packed with a virus, into the air. If you come in contact with any surface with has virus on it, then you can contract virus by touching your face after that. It is important to cough and sneeze in the tissues, not touch your face with unwashed hands, and avoid close contact with infected people. People will be most infectious when they have symptoms, but some may spread the virus even before they get sick. Health experts are not sure if face masks provide enough protection. However, the WHO is re-examining whether the public could benefit from using them.
People of all ages may be infected with a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma and diabetes) tend to be more vulnerable to the virus becoming seriously ill. WHO suggests that people of all ages take precautions to protect themselves against the virus, such as good hand hygiene and good respiratory hygiene. Wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, particularly after going to the bathroom, eating and blowing the nose, coughing or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, using a hand sanitizer based on alcohol that contains at least 60 per cent alcohol. Clean your hands with soap and water even when your hands are clearly dirty. Avoid touching your face, nose and eyes either of yourself or your children. No specific antiviral therapy is recommended for COVID-19. Infected patients should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms. In severe cases, vital organ function should be supported. There is currently no vaccine available for SARS-CoV-2. Avoidance is the main method of dissuasion. Treatment is aimed at alleviating symptoms and may include: pain relievers (ibuprofen or acetaminophen), Cough syrup or Fluid intake.
