After the spread of the new Corona variant “Iris” and the World Health Organization’s classification of it as an interesting variable, as it was discovered in 51 countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States, with cases doubling over the past month, we learn about the main symptoms of the new, rapidly spreading Corona variant “Iris”. According to the Times of India website.

Symptoms of the rapidly spreading new Corona variant “Iris”

sore throat

The main symptoms of this bullish variant are similar to: Omicron symptoms previous.

One of these symptoms is a sore throat. If you have a sore throat due to COVID-19, you may experience pain or a sore feeling in your throat, especially when you swallow or speak. Your throat may also feel dry or itchy. The person may also develop redness or soreness in the back of the throat.

Runny or stuffy nose

Corona can cause inflammation of the membranes lining the nose and sinuses, which is an immune response. The inflamed cells cause the nose to produce clear mucus to trap the virus and flush it out of the body.

This leads to a runny nose. These symptoms may be more common with Omicron than with previous variants such as Delta, because Omicron tends to live in the upper respiratory tract, which includes the nose, throat, and mouth. On the other hand, the earlier variants were more likely to be transmitted to the lungs.

sneeze

Another common symptom of the iris variant, a sneeze forcefully expels air from the lungs through the nose and mouth. They are usually caused by foreign particles irritating the nasal mucosa. Sneezing expels mucus that contains foreign particles or irritants and clears the nasal cavity. Sneezing can spread diseases like Corona through infectious aerosol droplets.

Cough with or without phlegm

About two-thirds of coughs associated with corona are dry coughs, according to research. This means that most coughs caused by corona disease are dry and free of phlegm. If you have a dry cough, it is often difficult to stop coughing once it has started. However, some people may sometimes cough up mucus with the infection.

Other symptoms of the Iris variant

Apart from the main symptoms mentioned above, other signs of the Iris variant include headache, hoarse voice, muscle aches and an altered sense of smell. According to reports, shortness of breath and fever are no longer the main symptoms.
