Suara.com – From fever to itchy cough and body aches, symptoms of Covid-19 too much like a cold or flu. However, experts have repeatedly said that the earliest symptoms a person experiences can alert them to active infections, including illness throat.
An itchy and thorny throat, which also feels like swelling, can be an indicator of a sore throat.
It is also one of the most common symptoms of Covid-19 infection, seen in more than 52 percent of cases worldwide. Thus as reported by the Times of India.
However, a sore throat alone is not a positive sign of the corona virus. It’s difficult to determine if your symptoms are caused by COVID alone.
Sore throat can arise due to many factors- weather changes, bacterial infection of tonsillitis. Therefore, having an itchy throat can be a common, but not the most common symptom.
Just like every cough or fever that is not a sign of Covid-19, sore throats are not that much of a concern either.
Here’s how a person can really quell their fear and differentiate a sore throat from the symptoms of COVID:
According to doctors, there is no real difference between a COVID and non-COVID sore throat. However, it is important to consider external factors before checking your health.
A sore throat can feel like your throat is really sore, or irritated. Some even experience a mild burning or itching sensation, which can get worse when swallowing food or water.
Occasionally, hoarseness or airiness, white patches (clinically visible only) or swelling can worsen a sore throat.
Most people feel unwell every time the seasons change. Experts also say that when weather conditions fluctuate, a drop in the air quality index (AQI) can also make people experience itchy and itchy throats.
This temperature shift is ideal for small viruses and bacteria to develop, and they can easily attack the body.
For some people, pollen release and allergies can also cause sinus development, sore throat, and cough.
Therefore, you would not think that every sore throat you suffer from is a classic Covid-19 symptom.
In fact, the changing of seasons also makes people experience the typical symptoms of other viral infections, without being diagnosed with Covid-19.
A study published in the International Allergy & Rhinology Forum around April-May found that many patients who only had sore throats did not have any COVID-19.
Therefore, it is very important for you to be aware of your health and not panic at the sight of simple symptoms
Therefore, if you suspect your sore throat is a sign of Covid-19, there are steps that must be taken.
It is not clear at what point the threat of illness develops in the case of Covid-19. However, these are common symptoms, especially if you have been in close contact with someone who has recently tested positive for Covid-19.
