PNEUMONIA WITH COVID-19: MAIN SYMPTOMS

Coronavirus infection can cause complications such as difficulty breathing and pneumonia. We talk about the symptoms of pneumonia with COVID-19, which will be the reason to see a doctor.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, it is very important to be attentive to your health. The disease has many defining symptoms, the occurrence of which may be a reason to seek medical help. Among them: are dry cough, fever, fever, sore throat, loss of taste and smell, and others.

Most of the symptoms of the disease appear gradually. A mild course of the disease requires symptomatic treatment and, after receiving the recommendations of doctors, can be treated at home. At the same time, there is a risk of complications that only specialists can help to cope with. One of these is pneumonia.

Pneumonia or pneumonia is the result of a disease, most often of an infectious origin, that affects the lung tissue. In this case, the inflammatory process can form both in both lungs and in a small area.

According to doctors, pneumonia is an inflammation in the alveoli, as a result of which the lungs fill with fluid and stop taking part in gas exchange. As a result, a person has problems with breathing. A timely diagnosis will help to get the necessary help and contribute to a quick recovery.

So, the following signs warn about the inflammatory process in the lungs: general weakness, drowsiness, fatigue, sore throat, wet cough, and fever. All of them are caused against the background of an infection spreading in the body

The most alarming manifestation of pneumonia, in particular caused by the coronavirus, is heavy breathing. It can be wheezing, whistling, or even gurgling. In some patients, the problem can provoke panic and cause redness, blueness, or pallor of the skin.

Another alarm bell is chest pain during breathing. It indicates that the inflammatory process has reached the pleura (a film covering the lungs – ed.), which means that fluid accumulates in excess in the lungs and it becomes more and more difficult to breathe.

Inflammation of the lungs is difficult to diagnose. In some cases, the disease is asymptomatic, so it is important to contact a therapist or pediatrician in a timely manner if there is any suspicion of pneumonia.

Pay attention to your condition, try not to panic, and if you show signs of coronavirus or pneumonia, be sure to call your doctor immediately.
