It’s no secret, coughing is a symptom of Covid-19 in all its subvariants. Cough is a sign that the body is trying to expel foreign particles through the respiratory tract, or rather the throat.
However, a cough triggered by a SARS-CoV-2 infection is generally different from the flu or the common cold. In the case of Covid-19, the cough that appears tends to be dry. This is different from coughing up the flu which tends to produce phlegm.
3. Colds
Similar to other upper respiratory tract infections (ARIs), Covid-19 also triggers the cold. This condition is usually characterized by increased mucus production in the nose and a feeling of something being blocked which makes the patient uncomfortable when breathing.
4. Sore throat
Sore throat usually appears due to dry cough. This type of cough causes pain and an itchy throat.
5. Headache
Another recent symptom of Covid is headaches. In this case, a headache similar to a throbbing sensation will appear which in some cases is accompanied by dizziness.
Headaches occur due to an inflammatory reaction in the body when a virus attacks.
6. Muscle pain
Muscle pain is the most dominant patient complaint at this time. Just like headaches, muscle pain occurs due to inflammation that is going on in the body.
7. Fever
The last characteristic of the Covid-19 BN.1 is fever. You must be careful if your body temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees Celsius.
