More than 46 million cases of coronavirus infection have been officially recorded in the world.
Not all infected people seek help in special institutions, because they cannot always distinguish a common cold or flu from a new virus.
Doctors have named the symptoms of COVID-19, which are most common in patients, and with which you should immediately see a doctor.
As you know, in 90% of cases, the infected have an increase in temperature, which can last up to several days.
However, do not forget about other indicators.
One of them is a dry and prolonged cough. An important symptom that should alarm the patient and force him to see a doctor immediately is a lack of smell and taste.
About thirty percent of those infected by the 8th day of illness develop shortness of breath.
And this already indicates a moderate form of the disease.
In forty percent of patients, there is increased fatigue and body aches.
It is important to pay attention to chest congestion, which occurs in 20 percent of those infected.
By the way, skin rashes (rashes, blisters) should also be a sign in order to see a doctor.
This is a rather rare symptom, but experts distinguish it as well.
Other rare indicators that a person has a coronavirus include hemoptysis, nausea and diarrhea, headaches and heart palpitations.
