Uncommon symptoms predicting infection with Covid 19
The signs of “Covid-19” infection are not limited to cough and fever. Doctors revealed uncommon mild symptoms reported by a number of those who were later diagnosed with the Coronavirus.
And a report published by "The Sun" newspaper mentioned some other signs that may mean that you caught the Coronavirus:
1- Soreness in the stomach
Some Covid-19 patients reported experiencing abdominal pain before other known symptoms appeared.
A study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology indicates that people may suffer from digestive problems, such as diarrhea, when they are infected with the Corona virus.
The researchers analyzed the data of 204 patients with "Covid-19" in the Chinese province of Hubei, and discovered that 48.5% of these patients arrived at the hospital with symptoms of the digestive system, such as diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal pain.
2. Eye infections
Doctors warned early in the epidemic that losing the sense of taste or smell could also be a sign of the Corona virus.
The British Otolaryngology Association says conjunctivitis may be another sign.
And she said in a statement: "There is evidence from other countries that the entry point for the Corona virus is often in the eyes, nose and throat."
It is thought that loss of the ability to smell or taste may be due to the virus' destruction of cells in the nose and throat.
Experts say it is something people can usually experience after catching other types of coronaviruses - such as the common cold.
3. Brain fog
Some people may experience brain fog, also known as mental fatigue, as another symptom of coronavirus. Doctors did not diagnose it as a symptom, but it is another indication that those who have experienced the disease have reported exposure to it.
4. Fatigue
A report in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that up to 44% of those hospitalized with "Covid-19" reported fatigue and fatigue.
A patient named Chiara Degiallorenzo, 25, who has been fighting "Covid-19" since March 6, said her illness began with fever and fatigue. "It is not the flu," she explained, adding that many of the people infected with it were left "fighting to breathe."
Linda Carr, 69, from Norfolk, said she lost her sense of taste and smell about two weeks ago. And I felt very ill and terribly exhausted, without a high temperature or coughing. Source
