An unknown symptom of the highly contagious variant “Omicron” warns American scientists, pointing out that it is an emergency warning sign that shows that the patient needs medical help.
At a time when most of the symptoms of the Omicron mutation are known to the medical community, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that it has identified a new symptom that should not go unnoticed.
As he pointed out, the patient who feels like he is in a state of disorientation, should seek the help of specialists. But anyone who has difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain or pressure, is drowsy or is pale and their skin, lips or nails become “blue”, should see a doctor.
In its announcement, the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that the feeling of confusion is now more and more common in those who are infected with the “Omicron” mutation.
In addition, research into the British government-funded Covid's ZoE's symptom application, as well as that of King's College University in London, found that many carriers of the Omicron variant have changed their behavior. , as if in a frenzy, as reported by the British newspaper “Express”.
The “Covid Symptom Study” (ZOE) has identified the common symptoms associated with coronavirus, showing that they differ slightly depending on whether one is vaccinated or not.
Headache
Although headache is a lesser-known symptom of Covid, it is one of the earliest signs, according to the ZOE study. In addition, it is a more common symptom than the classic (symptoms) of cough, fever and loss of smell.
Catarrh
Last winter, the ZOE study found that runny nose was the second most commonly reported symptom after headaches, with nearly 60% of those who tested positive for Covid with loss of smell also reporting a runny nose.
Sneeze
The ZOE study found that sneezing more than usual could be a sign of Covid in people who have been vaccinated, although it does suggest that sneezing is much more likely to be a sign of a cold or allergy.
Sore throat
Many people with Covid complain of having a sore throat that is similar to what a person may experience when they have a cold or laryngitis. The sore throat associated with Covid disease tends to be mild and lasts no more than five days, so a very sore sore throat that lasts longer may be something else. According to the ZOE study, almost half of those with Covid report a sore throat, although this is more common in adults aged 18-65 than in the elderly or under 18.
Loss of smell
It remains the strongest indicator of Covid infection, regardless of an individual's age, sex, or severity of illness. While sufferers may not lose their sense of smell completely, it may change, and they may not be able to smell things with a strong aroma. The sense of taste can also be affected.
Persistent cough
Persistent cough is widely accepted to be one of the three main symptoms of Covid, but according to the ZOE study, only about four in 10 patients will develop it. In this context, “persistent” means coughing several times a day, “for half a day or more”. The cough associated with Covid disease is usually whooping cough. A persistent cough tends to appear about a few days after the illness and usually lasts for about four or five days.
