These 2 big symptoms in Covid-19 and flu infection | time today

Covid-19: Combination of Covid-19 and flu infection in winter can prove more dangerous for humans. Seeing the symptoms of flu and Kovid-19, it is very difficult to find a difference between them. The symptoms of both diseases are almost the same. It is possible to tell only through the test that the disease is actually a human.

The question is how to differentiate between the two. Should you check corona as soon as a cough and fever occur? According to microbiologist Dr. TN Dhol, there is a very subtle difference between the two. The initial symptoms are very similar, but it is possible to identify them. Dr. Dhol has been a Senior Microbiologist at SGPGI. He is currently the head of the Department of Microbiology at the Hind Institute of Medical Science.

Symptoms of covid-19 and flu infection:

Covid-19 and flu (both body pain, throat pain, fever, cough, shortness of breath, tiredness and headache are all symptoms. However, scientists claim that by looking at just two symptoms, you can get Kovid-19. And can recognize the difference between the flu.

Doctors say that usually in a flu infection a person starts appearing ill within a week. Whereas covid-19 can also fall ill for two to three weeks or more. There have been many such cases around the world, where even after three weeks, people have not been able to recover.

You may have seen or heard that a person loses the power to smell and identify taste when infected with Covid-19. While this never happens when there is flu. However, not all patients infected with corona have such symptoms.

Dr. Daniel Solomon of Boston's Medical Hospital and School in Boston says that it is possible that a person is prone to both diseases at the same time. In such a situation, you may have to undergo tests for both diseases instead of one. If you are thinking of getting a single test, then keep in mind that the risk of which virus is spreading more in your area.

According to a report by 'Public Health England' (PHE), the risk of death of a human being is almost double when the infection of Kovid-19 and flu together. PHE's report says that between January 20 and April 25, 20,000 such cases were reported in the country, where patients were found infected with both flu and Kovid-19. Most of these patients were in critical condition. 43% people died here due to this combination of infection.

Dr. Solomon says that the community transmission of influenza has not been seen yet, so there is no widespread testing of the flu. Flu and Kovid-19 both spread through droplets coming out of the mouth and nose. Both infect humans before they become ill.

A person starts falling ill within one to four days of flu infection. While the symptoms of corona virus may take 2 to 14 days to appear. Flu treatment is based on the type of virus. While there is no vaccine available for the corona virus yet. Trial is going on on many vaccines worldwide.
