Omicron: These are the symptoms in the first 48 hours

While we are waiting for the data that will show to what extent the Omicron variant escapes the immune response, the data on the symptoms of the infection in the first 48 hours are interesting.

It seems to be completely different from the symptoms manifested by someone who became ill with other strains, as they do not include fever, immunity or taste.

Now the symptoms are reminiscent of a common cold.

Analytically:

  • Nasal runny nose
  • Dry throat
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Sneezing

As the professor, Nikos Sypsas, explained in an event of EKPA, one can get coronavirus even if he does not show a fever. He added that if someone has symptoms of a common cold, it would be good to do a molecular test and then proceed to any social gathering if the test is negative.

The latest in the treatment of coronavirus

Professor Stelios Loukidis referred to the issue of coronavirus treatment at the same event.

Mr. Loukidis clarified that the treatment of the disease should be divided into two phases. One is in the house where unfortunately there is an abuse of drugs and interventions and the second concerns the treatment in the hospital.

There is no ideal cure, he said. Inside the hospital what we do is better oxygen therapy and with the right way of using the drugs we see better results.

On the subject of treatment and monoclonal antibodies, Nikos Sypsas stressed that antiviral drugs are not affected by the Omicron mutation. “Omicron has almost 50 mutations but all 30 appear in the protein spike. Antiviral drugs have enzymes and we do not expect to have significant changes in effectiveness.
