Many new coronavirus survivors report recurring symptoms weeks or even months after they tested negative for the virus and recovered.
Available data, as well as research, indicate that the elderly and those suffering from many serious chronic diseases are most vulnerable to persistent symptoms of Corona.
The most common symptoms of Covid-19, which can last for months, include fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, headache and joint pain, but skin problems including long-term hives have also appeared, and many patients have also reported symptoms of the Coronavirus after months of recovery.
According to a new study listed in the International Register of Dermatology of Covid-19, “Covid fingers”, also known as swollen fingers, can last for up to six months, according to the “thehealthsite”.
The fingers of infected people become red and painful, and eventually they turn purple.
One in 6 people needs hospital treatment for “Covid fingers”
Researchers from the International Association of Dermatological Societies and the American Academy of Dermatology reviewed 1,000 cases of Corona patients from 39 countries to monitor the skin manifestations of the disease, according to them, the fingers of Covid usually develop within one to four weeks of infection, the symptoms are often mild and are eliminated Within weeks.
On average, “Covid fingers” last about 15 days, however, about one in six people require hospital treatment for this serious symptom, and this continues for several months in some patients.
Nearly 50 percent of patients in the study reported that they had coronavirus, and about 16 percent of them needed treatment for this condition.
