The article published in a leading medical journal stated that a new one could be added under the symptoms of coronavirus. Persistent hiccups can also be one of the symptoms of coronavirus, according to the article.
The fight against the coronavirus, which infects some 20 million people worldwide and kills 727 thousand people, continues. Scientists are trying to get to know the virus better while doing vaccine and medical studies on the one hand.
To date, symptoms of COVID-19 disease caused by the virus include fever, dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of taste and smell, headache. However, a new study indicated that a new one could be added among them.
Is hiccups the new symptom of coronavirus?
In the article published in the leading medical journal, The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, it was explained that a new one could be added to the symptoms of coronavirus: hiccups.
According to the news reported by the spokesperson, it was mentioned in the article that a 62-year-old man who lived in Chicago hiccuped for four days and this went on for a while. The man, who was reported to have no symptoms, had “a fever of 37.3 degrees when his fever was measured. But the situation arose when he was taken to the hospital and the tests deepened. The test “The coronavirus was positive and the capacity of his lungs was also reduced. The man’s fever later increased to 38.4.”
Speaking about the incident, Cook County Hospital doctors explained that hiccups that do not go away for days should not be ignored. In view of the fact that many cases occur without symptoms, doctors said that different symptoms should be considered in COVID-19 patients.
Scientists working on coronavirus continue to work on learning the virus better and developing an effective medicine and vaccine against the virus. With each study conducted, more is learned about this virus.
