The country is battling the second wave of corona, which is worsening by the day. The problems with the second wave are mounting, as the symptoms of COVID-19 infections are unusual and different from those of the first. One of the most common symptoms is a sore throat.
In India, the second wave of COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the country and has overburdened the health-care system. The condition is deteriorating because the COVID-19 infection is undetectable in RT-PCR tests.
Over the last 24 hours, India has seen a record daily rise in coronavirus infections, with a jump in demand for oxygen and hospital beds compounding the problem for the central and state governments.
The double mutant coronavirus, which is undetectable by the COVID-19 test, has a strange set of symptoms. A few of them are as follows:
1. Sore throat: If you have a prickly, itchy throat or notice swelling, you might have a sore throat, which is the most common signs of COVID-19 infection. This symptom has been seen in over 52% of cases around the world.
2. Fatigue: According to specialists in the United Kingdom, one of the first symptoms of infection in COVID-19 patients is exhaustion. Many people have complained of exhaustion and weakness before being diagnosed with the virus.
3. Body ache: Many people who have tested positive for COVID-19 have reported excruciating body, joint, and muscle pain, according to doctors. Myalgia is the most common cause of muscle and body aches, and it is caused by the coronavirus targeting vital muscle fibres and tissue linings in your body.
4. Fever and chills: If you have a high fever and feel unusually cold, it's possible you've been infected with the virus. In the case of the mutant virus, fever and chills are typical symptoms.
5. Nausea and vomiting: Nausea and vomiting are now being considered early warning signs of COVID-19 infection.
6.Dizziness: Many people have reported experiencing neurological symptoms including dizziness, exhaustion, malaise, and nausea as a result of the COVID-19 infection.
7. No saliva production: The body is unable to produce saliva, which is thought to protect your mouth from harmful bacteria. Furthermore, people who are experiencing these symptoms can find it difficult to chew their food or speak clearly.
Stay at home if you have a strange symptom, even if it's just a headache and fatigue!”
So, if you're experiencing any of the above symptoms, don't panic; just get tested and stay at home.
Meanwhile, the global COVID-19 caseload has exceeded 140 million, with the United States being the worst-affected region, followed by India.
