Attention … these are “new” symptoms of Covid-19

As scientists around the world work to develop a vaccine against the Corona virus, which has infected more than 31 million people worldwide, medical workers are still struggling to identify a comprehensive list of Covid 19 symptoms that are on the rise. day after day.

Although fatigue, shortness of breath, high temperature, and loss of the sense of taste and smell are the most common symptoms of the mysterious virus, there are lesser-known indicators of the disease that need to be addressed.

The virus can fiercely attack different areas of the body. Since last May, the spread of delirium and confusion among patients with severe cases of “Covid-19” has been reported, according to the British newspaper “Daily Express.”

In a study published in The Lancet, a team of researchers examined a small number of coronavirus patients and identified evidence of confusion and delirium in more than 60% of cases of intensive care patients.

The scientists, who are multinational, believe that symptoms may be partially exacerbated by being in intensive care.

They concluded that patients who had to stay in intensive care for long periods of time and who required ventilation therapy may be more likely to have delirium and disorientation.

In turn, the Mayo Clinic Health Foundation has compiled a list of unusual warning signs of the disease.

He indicated that “Covid-19” can cause moderate symptoms in the digestive system, including loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

“These symptoms can last only a day. Some people with Covid-19 experience diarrhea and nausea before fever and respiratory symptoms appear,” he says.

Other unusual symptoms that have been observed include:

* Skin changes: Younger people with “Covid-19” may have itchy hands and feet that resemble swollen fingers, an inflammatory skin condition. Sometimes called covid fingers, these symptoms usually last about 12 days.

However, new research suggests that these symptoms may just be swollen fingers caused by people’s sedentary behavior and not moving much due to not leaving the house during confinements.

Confusion: “Covid 19” has been reported to cause confusion in the elderly, especially those with severe infections.

Eye Problems: The mystery virus can cause eye problems like enlarged red blood vessels, swollen eyelids, and increased secretions. The infection can also cause sensitivity to light and irritation. These symptoms are more common in people with severe infections.

In turn, the Mayo Clinic Foundation adds: “The signs and symptoms of Covid 19 can appear two to 14 days after exposure to the virus and can range from mild to severe.”

In addition, the new Corona virus has infected more than 31 million people worldwide and almost 962,000 have died of Covid-19 since the virus appeared in Wuhan, in eastern China, at the end of 2019, according to statistics from Reuters.

The World Health Organization said Monday that about two million cases were reported worldwide in the week through September 20.

He also explained that the 6% increase is “the highest number of infections ever recorded in a week since the start of the outbreak.”
