It is generally known that people who are infected with the coronavirus experience several days in a row of very high fever and a severe cough. These are the most common symptoms associated with Covid-19. But is that always the case?
More than 60% of infected patients report that they had almost no symptoms and that the COVID-19 illness was only detected thanks to testing. How do you find out that you have overcome the coronavirus and didn’t even know it?
The virus is similar to those from the past, for example SARS. It is very important what the manifestations and symptoms are, what the treatment is, and how long it will take to develop a drug and a vaccine. The disease originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where it began to spread as early as November 2019, and that is why it is designated 19. As for contagiousness, one infected person can on average infect up to 4 people.
Symptoms
With the virus there are also symptoms that may not be obvious at all and a person may not register them at all. In rare cases it may happen that during infection a person does not suffer from fever and dry cough.
As you know very well, immunity plays a huge role in this disease – the stronger it is, the better you cope with the illness. If you really have good immunity, the main symptoms may not manifest in you. However, less known symptoms may appear in you.
It is possible that if any of these symptoms have appeared in you, you may have overcome Covid-19 without knowing it.
These are conjunctivitis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of smell and extreme fatigue.
All of the listed symptoms can appear during coronavirus infection. Did they appear in you?
