The first case in Kanpur city was detected on 23 October and cases have since been on the rise, a state health official told Reuters. Among those who have tested positive is a pregnant woman. Mr Singh said that authorities had formed teams to increase surveillance of the outbreak and to contain its spread.
Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath noted that the infection was "spreading rapidly" in the city and instructed officials to speed up sanitisation work, news agency ANI reported. The health of each patient should be continuously monitored," he said. The virus was first identified in monkeys in Uganda in While not a common symptom of COVID, many who contracted the virus did report gastrointestinal problems.
This could explain why survey respondents reported dealing with abdominal pain well after contracting the virus. In a study published through the American Gastrological Association , While a dry cough is most commonly associated with coronavirus, some patients may experience phlegm in the back of their throat during the later stages. For coronavirus patients dealing with phlegm, the University of Maryland Medical System suggests taking an expectorant to help get the mucus out and make your cough more productive.
Staying hydrated and drinking warm beverages may also help to break up the phlegm. Loss of taste, called ageusia, and loss of smell, called anosmia, are common symptoms of the virus and the duration of these symptoms varies by patient. The study found that, "Most patients with anosmia or ageusia recovered within 3 weeks. For example, a patient may begin experiencing a headache and fever, then move onto shortness of breath and muscle aches.
According to the CDC , "U. COVID patients report a wide range of symptoms across a spectrum of illness severity. Since the virus is known to cause gastrointestinal problems, some patients may take longer to recover from these inconsistencies than others.
Avoiding alcohol, spicy foods, and large meals may help curb these long-lasting symptoms. Neuropathy is weakness or numbness due to nerve damage. Since the virus can do some damage to the nervous system, this may be a lingering symptom for some sufferers. Nerve fibers may be more sensitive when a patient is infected with the virus, causing this numbing of the hands and feet.
As a pandemic, COVID sufferers are required to quarantine, which may mean isolating from loved ones and not being able to engage in activities they enjoy. A study published in The Lancet analyzed mental side effects of the virus and concluded that medical professionals should watch their patients for signs of depression or some neuropsychiatric syndromes well after recovery.
A runny nose is one way to get rid of the mucus in your body after the virus, so it may persist until the mucus is gone. Blurry vision may be a sign of nerve damage or may also occur when other COVID symptoms are going strong, such as a fever or headache.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology , blurred vision may also be a symptom of endophthalmitis, which is an infection of tissue or fluids inside the eye. If this is the case, quick treatment is required to prevent blindness. Khetarpal says this may be due to a change in diet, high fever, extreme weight loss, or any other "shock to the system" that COVID may have caused. According to the Mayo Clinic , tachycardia occurs when your heart beats over beats per minute.
It's a form of arrhythmia, or a heartbeat disorder. It may be the body's response to stress, trauma, or illness. However, if tachycardia is left untreated and continues to occur, it can lead to serious complications, such as heart failure or stroke. Partial or complete loss of sense of smell is a common symptom with COVID and many other respiratory viruses, according to Penn Medicine.
Since your olfactory system is so close to your respiratory system, virus cells can enter into nerve and receptor cells and cause damage. It can take a long time for these cells to repair and some cells may never fully recover from the virus. According to Kaiser Permanente , night sweats are different from regular sweating because they occur only at night and include intense sweating, enough to soak through your clothes and sheets.
It's possible that night sweats are present due to a residual fever but they may also be caused by thyroid level issues, menopause, anxiety, or infections.
New medication or other lingering symptoms, such as chills and muscle aches, may also contribute to long-lasting night sweats. While not all coronavirus sufferers experience a sore throat, it's one of the common symptoms the CDC lists for the virus. According to the CDC , viruses and infections cause sore throats, which may be why this is a lingering symptom for some coronavirus patients.
A study conducted by several researchers analyzed patients with low severity COVID and 48 experienced digestive problems first before other coronavirus symptoms.
Even after the fever, headache, and dry cough have disappeared, some patients who have "recovered" from COVID may experience heart palpitations. Ongoing heart issues, such as palpitations, may be long-lasting for COVID patients, regardless of their illness severity.
Richard Deem from Cedars-Sinai explains that as your immune system attempts to fight off COVID or any type of illness, white blood cells produce interleukins to help join the fight.
While these interleukins are useful in fighting off the virus cells, they also cause muscle and joint pain. The immune response may still be heightened in these recovering patients, causing this joint pain to last.
A lingering cough can be a side effect of any type of cold, flu, or illness. As a respiratory virus, the cough associated with COVID may take a long time to go away because your body is attempting to get rid of lingering mucus and phlegm. Since coronavirus affects the lungs and respiratory system, this chest pain may be attributed to the virus still settling in the body.
According to the Mayo Clinic , sudden, sharp chest pains are referred to as pleurisy and it may indicate that the lung walls are inflamed. Pleurisy may be a sign of pneumonia or another type of infection, so recovered COVID patients should see a doctor if this symptom persists. COVID is a respiratory virus that also has nervous system side effects.
According to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open , "symptoms including headache, dizziness, vertigo, and paresthesia have been reported. A paper published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease analyzes potential long-term neurological effects of COVID on patients who experienced severe cases. Memory problems and cognitive decline are potential side effects for some of these patients.
Since the virus affects the nervous system, memory problems may be a lingering side effect for some patients, especially those who suffered severe cases. Between quarantining, social isolation, and worry about developing a severe case of coronavirus, it's no wonder anxiety is a lingering symptom for COVID patients. Sleep is crucial because it keeps the immune system functioning properly, heightens brain function, stabilizes mood, and improves mental health.
This lack of sleep may be due to anxiety or worry about the virus or may be attributed to other lingering symptoms, such as muscle pain or cough. Setting specific bedtimes and only using your bed for sleep may help with these difficulties. It is the fifth most common COVID symptom after fever, cough, muscle aches, and trouble breathing. This may be due to dehydration, congestion, or other symptoms of coronavirus, such as a fever.
After recovering from COVID, some patients find it hard to exercise or be active, even if they were fit before contracting the virus. According to a study published in JAMA Cardiology , researchers recommend that patients who suffered from severe cases of COVID wait at least two weeks before resuming light exercise.
This allows time for doctors to see if heart or lung conditions develop that could make it dangerous to engage in physical activity. The long-term effects of COVID are unknown since the virus is so new but researchers are seeing certain neurological effects on patients who have recovered.
This is commonly referred to as "brain fog" and many patients express feeling this way while recovering from coronavirus. According to John Hopkins Medicine , shortness of breath is when you feel like you can't get enough air or your chest is tight. Most people feel this way after exercising or if they're experiencing a panic attack.
However, patients with COVID may feel shortness of breath without even moving since it's a common symptom of the virus. In the survey, COVID patients claimed that shortness of breath or difficulty breathing was a long-lasting coronavirus symptom. Body aches are a common symptom of many illnesses, including coronavirus.
Fatigue was the most common lingering symptom of coronavirus. According to a study conducted by the WHO , the average recovery time for mild coronavirus cases is around two weeks but three to six weeks for severe or critical cases.
Lingering fatigue may be a sign that your body is still fighting the virus or is recovering from the fight. If you experience any of these conditions, it may or may not be COVID—contact a medical professional immediately.
