What are the symptoms of pneumonia after novel coronavirus infection in Wuhan?

Recently, people are most concerned about the symptoms of pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus infection. In fact, the most important things are cough, fever, fatigue and difficulty breathing.

First, cough and fever are the first symptoms;

Most patients are due to cough and fever. Cough is mostly dry cough, with fever above 38 degrees Celsius. If you find symptoms of fever, you are advised to go to the hospital immediately. There will be a fever clinic in the hospital to take your temperature and auscultate, and check whether it is pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus. Some people only cough or have a fever after infection.

Second, the subsequent symptoms of dyspnea;

Pneumonia in novel coronavirus is an acute respiratory infectious disease. Most patients have symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue after one week. In severe cases, they will be unable to walk, and complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, metabolic acidosis and acute renal failure may also occur.

Third, there is an incubation period. If you suspect infection, you can do an auxiliary examination.

If you have no symptoms, but have had contact with people who may be infected, you can go to the hospital for routine blood tests, mycoplasma, X-rays and ct examinations. The accuracy of CT is higher, clearer and cheaper than that of X-ray. It is recommended to have an x-ray first. If the X-ray is not obvious and in doubt, it is recommended to do another CT examination. If the CT chest film shows vitreous opacity, it may be pneumonia. The earlier diagnosis and treatment, the lighter the early symptoms, the easier it is to cure and control. However, it should be noted that there is a possibility of asymptomatic infection during the incubation period. Pay attention to personal protection and wear a mask to avoid being infected by others and to avoid infecting others. Because pneumonia is a respiratory infection, try to avoid contact outside. If there are no symptoms and no contact history, try to avoid going to the hospital to avoid infection on the way or during hospital examination.

Now all provinces and cities have started the first-level response. We try not to go out and wear masks when we go out, which can effectively reduce the chance of being infected. If you find suspected symptoms or have a history of contact, you should actively go to the hospital for examination and cooperate with the doctor for treatment so as to recover as soon as possible.
