Corona-virus, some Misconceptions, and their answers

In today's column we will only talk about some of the common misconceptions about coronavirus that are related to its basic symptoms. For the past several days many of our acquaintances have been asking us about it and many senior-junior friends. People in his circle of friends are asking similar questions to doctors. For example, Dr. Sahib! I had a mild cough yesterday. Is this Corona? Or a woman who had been feeling chest tightness for months, wondering if it was Corona.
Someone asks if I had a shortness of breath this morning, do I have corona? Or I have a cold, I think I have a corona - the common cold is common these days anyway, it's nothing new but because of the coronavirus it has also become a sign of fear at this time and here If someone sneezes, everyone thinks that he has coronary heart disease.

The same is true of cough. Coughing has been a common occurrence among smokers or drug addicts for years now, but in the current situation, even a mild cough is disturbing. First of all, understand that the biggest symptom found so far in coronavirus patients around the world is persistent fever, which was initially reported to be 100 degrees or more, but is now new. Research has shown that it can be mild, but the fever is persistent, as well as a dry cough that is persistent (remember it is a cough, a dry cough, it does not contain mucus), and thirdly. He has a feeling of tightness in the chest or difficulty in breathing and this symptom is also constant.
At the same time, although there have been many cases in which no known symptom has been found in the patients, their number is equal to the salt in the flour, although the precautionary aspect should be maintained anyway. We have described these symptoms in detail in the previous columns. Have been stated, but it is important to reiterate them here so that the reader can understand it well.
If you have a cold or a mild cough, or if at some point or another you have difficulty breathing for one and a half times, it does not necessarily mean that you have to. Corona is done. Don't blame it on yourself. And don't bother yourself and the rest of the family. It is more likely that it is a common cold or cough, or if someone has asthma or pneumonia or a heart condition, then shortness of breath in such patients is the cause of the disease. Happens from
This does not necessarily mean that he is coronary. So be content. Reassure yourself and your family that this is part of the routine and will pass, as has been the case with almost all of us in our society for centuries. If so, in the first stage, isolate yourself in a room of the house and keep checking the symptoms. Paracetamol is commonly used in homes for fever, so in case of persistent fever, take the same in the morning and evening and increase your strength. Use fruits, vegetables, juices and water as much as possible to boost immunity (remember S, use more of these things even under normal circumstances as they boost the human immune system and keep it healthy), usually it will go away on its own in three to four days, but if the symptoms get worse. This is the time when you should consult a doctor and get tested for corona as a precaution, although it is not necessary that the test be positive, in most cases it is negative. More likely to come.
And even if a person is positive for coronavirus, it does not necessarily mean death, but even if the symptoms are not very severe, there is a 96-97 percent chance that you will take precautionary measures. And it will be completely cured in 7-10 days through symptomatic treatment. In case of severe symptoms, hospitalization or quarantine will be required.
A question is also asked about coronavirus in children. Parents with common sense are happy to read the information available on social media that coronavirus has no effect on children, while serious parents are rightly concerned about young children. Are worried As parents are naturally more sensitive about their children, it is important to consider this aspect as well.
According to the research done so far, the cases of coronavirus in children are almost non-existent and recently 44672 authentic corona patients were studied at Yale University Connecticut USA out of which only 1023 ie 1% patients are less than ten years Older children were found and none of them died of the coronavirus. (Research and analysis cited by Layal Liverpool newscientist.com) This news certainly has a happy side for parents and a source of satisfaction for them. While children under the age of ten are generally still naturally protected from the effects of the epidemic, there is also the concern that children, however, maybe only one percent. Arizona infected with a virus.

Coronavirus: Am I at risk during pregnancy?

Pregnant women have been told to strictly avoid social networking to avoid contracting the coronavirus.

But what do we know about her pregnancy?

Can coronavirus cause problems during my pregnancy?

Although doctors do not currently know much about what type of coronavirus can cause during pregnancy, apparently, pregnant women are less likely to get sick than other healthy people.

"If there were any serious risks, we would have been exposed by now," said Christophe Liz, a birth specialist at Imperial College London.

Like the rest of the population, if they are affected, most pregnant women will have mild to moderate symptoms and will recover. These symptoms include cough, fever, difficulty breathing, headache, and loss of sense of smell.

The coronavirus can cause complications during pregnancy when a woman develops COD 19, but this is rare.

Pregnant women who have a serious heart condition are at high risk and are advised to spend all their time indoors and to avoid confrontation with anyone. Emphasis is being placed. They are being asked to consult their doctor about their treatment.

Some viruses are more prevalent in pregnant women, but there is no evidence of coronavirus.

Researchers in the UK are reviewing experiments on pregnant women suffering from COD 19. And for that they are using the Pinewood Pregnancy and New Natal Registry and the UK Obstetric Surveillance System.

Women can give their views on pregnancy during an epidemic in a survey by the University of East Anglia.

Is my baby at risk of premature birth?

There have been reports of some women becoming seriously ill with the coronavirus and giving birth prematurely, but it is difficult to say what caused the premature birth.

Ed Mullen, a doctor at Queen Charlotte and Chelsea Hospitals in London, says if given a reason, it could be to treat a baby's uterine anxiety or a lack of oxygen in the woman.

The process of reproduction in the womb during pregnancy increases the pressure on the mother's lungs and heartbeat. Severe illness caused by code 19 can make the situation worse and can make it harder to breathe.

Any such woman is closely monitored in the hospital.

Marine Knight, a professor of maternal and child health at the University of Oxford, says that a severe illness with a fever can lead to premature birth and childbirth.

However, she says most cases of premature birth have occurred in women who have had a quick operation to give birth because the mother had difficulty breathing because of the code, rather than in them. Premature pregnancy has occurred.

There is no evidence of an increased risk of miscarriage in infected women.

Can I get the virus during pregnancy?

It is possible. A few such cases have come to light but such newborns have been discharged from the hospital and are now fine.

According to a study in China, 3 out of 33 children had mothers whose code was 19 and it was passed on to them.

It is difficult to say whether babies get the disease in the womb, during pregnancy or immediately after birth when the baby is close to the mother.

According to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists RCOG in the UK, there is no evidence that the virus can cause any problems in a child's growth.

What should I do if I am pregnant and I suspect I have the virus?

If you have flu or flu symptoms, stay home for seven days.

If you have any appointments during this time, tell your midwife or maternity center about your symptoms.

Most women will have mild symptoms that will go away in a few days.

But if your condition worsens, contact your doctor or hospital emergency department immediately.

If you are in the UK you can contact the National Health Service (NHS 24 in Scotland) via 111 or dial 999 in an emergency.

More information on pregnant women and their families is available on the RCOG website.

Should I go to work if I am pregnant?

Do this if you are pregnant and can work from home.

If you are more than 28 weeks pregnant and you have other medical problems, then it is important that you avoid social networking.
