Influenza symptoms are mainly fever, headache, myalgia, and general discomfort, and body temperature can reach 39 ~ 40 °C.
Patients may have chills, chills, and systemic symptoms such as sore muscles and joints, fatigue, and loss of appetite, often with sore throat, dry cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sternum discomfort.
Face flushed, conjunctiva congestion. Partially characterized by vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, it is common in children infected with influenza B.
The course of patients without complications was self-limiting, and the body temperature returned to normal after 3 to 4 days of onset, and systemic symptoms improved, but cough and physical recovery often took 1 to 2 weeks.
Pneumonia is the most common complication of influenza. Other complications include nervous system damage, heart damage, myositis, rhabdomyolysis syndrome, and septic shock.
According to the existing case data, the new coronavirus pneumonia is mainly manifested by fever, dry cough, and fatigue. A few patients have upper respiratory and digestive symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and diarrhea.
Severe cases often have dyspnea after 1 week. In severe cases, they quickly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, difficult to correct metabolic acidosis, coagulation dysfunction, and multiple organ failure.
It is worth noting that in the course of severe and critically ill patients, there can be moderate to low fever, even without obvious fever. Mild patients showed only low fever, mild fatigue, and no pneumonia.
Judging from the current cases, most patients have a good prognosis, and a few patients are critically ill.
The prognosis for the elderly and those with chronic underlying disease is poor. Symptoms in children are relatively mild.
If you have respiratory symptoms, how do you know if you are infected with the new coronavirus pneumonia?
Based on current epidemiological investigations, the incubation period is 1-14 days, mostly 3-7 days. Fever, fatigue, dry cough are the main symptoms. A few patients are accompanied by occlusion, runny nose, sore throat, myalgia and diarrhea.
Severe patients develop dyspnea or hypoxemia in the first week after onset, and severe patients rapidly progress to acute respiratory failure (acute respiratory distress syndrome), sepsis, and multiple organ failure.
It is worth noting that some patients have mild onset symptoms, no fever, and no pneumonia. Most patients are mild. The prognosis is good, and a few patients are critically ill and even die.
Early clinical manifestations, such as fever, fatigue, and dry coughing, do not imply infection.
However, if fever (armpit temperature ≥ 37.3 °C), cough, shortness of breath and other symptoms of acute respiratory infections occur, you should go to the local designated medical institution for examination, diagnosis and treatment.
I have fever, how do I see a doctor?
During the epidemic, if fever occurs, you should report it to the medical and health institution in time, and cooperate with relevant investigation, diagnosis and treatment.
During the consultation, a surgical surgical mask or N95 mask should be worn throughout the visit.
When you visit a doctor, you should tell the truth about your illness and previous visits, especially the doctor's recent travel and residence history, contact history with patients with new coronavirus pneumonia or asymptomatic infection, and animal contact history.
If a suspected case of new coronavirus pneumonia is diagnosed, it will be admitted to hospital for isolation and treatment.
At the same time, samples of pharyngeal swabs, sputum and other samples were collected for new coronavirus detection, and blood samples were taken for serum new coronavirus-specific antibody detection.
If any test result is positive, it is diagnosed as a confirmed case of new coronavirus pneumonia.
Which people are susceptible to new coronavirus pneumonia?
1. Older people
Concerned about the "age distribution of the population infected with the new coronavirus", the proportion of "elderly people" is the largest, and the prevalence and mortality of elderly patients belong to the "largest share of the age distribution".
Relatively speaking, the elderly's body capacity is in a declining stage, and their organ capacity and immunity are lower than those of young people, so they are more likely to be "defeated by the new coronavirus", and their risk of disease will naturally be higher.
2. Crowds in "populated places"
For the "new coronavirus", the transmission mode is more "droplet" infection. Therefore, where there are many people, the risk of infection with the "new coronavirus" is naturally higher.
In real life, many people are "unwilling to be lonely." They are used to staying and playing in crowded places. Some people may also have special reasons for work.
However, in closed, air-smooth, and densely crowded places, "virus infection" is more likely to occur. With more people, the virus is more. With less space, the number of units in the virus is greater, so the risk of infection will naturally Increase.
3. People with "certain underlying diseases"
Among the patients with "severe new coronavirus pneumonia", a large part of the population belong to patients with respiratory diseases, hypertension, diabetes, liver cirrhosis and other problems; people with severe underlying diseases also belong to "easy new coronavirus pneumonia" "Sensing people", need to focus on.
4.People with bad living habits and low autoimmunity
Those don’t like sports in daily life are believed to be vulnerable to catch a cold from people nearby, indicating that "resistance is relatively low". This group is also susceptible to new types of coronavirus.
This group of people needs to adjust their lifestyles and eating patterns, exercise more, eat and sleep in a balanced arrangement, and strengthen their defenses against viruses.
In addition, children, pregnant women, and medical personnel who come into contact with patients are also "susceptible groups of new coronavirus". These people need to "focus on prevention and control" in their lives to avoid being attacked by the epidemic.
