Symptoms of corona may be changed in the third wave: Experts says…

Nowadays Omicron started spreading rapidly all over the world. Many experts say that the symptoms observed in coronaviruses might be changed along with a new mutation. As it is practically observed that the Omicron patients have some different symptoms that were detected in the case of coronaviruses and Delta variants. 

In the case of Omicron, it may be abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weakness; there was shortness of breath in the second wave. Corona's third wave has started showing speed all over the country. Meanwhile, many questions are arising in the minds of people regarding the new symptoms and recovery of the corona. 

In such a situation, let us tell you that not only the variant of the corona epidemic has come new in the third wave, but its symptoms have also changed. Expert says that apart from the symptoms of cold, body ache, and weakness were seen in the patients.  Some patients are also complaining of stomach pain, diarrhea. Corona patients used to have trouble breathing in the second wave, but this time in the third wave these symptoms are not visible. It is also told that so far, the maximum number of infected people under 50 have been found. 

Most of them are patients in the age group of 12 to 35 years. This time the infection is being seen less in the elderly. Only those elderly people who have a travel history have been found infected. It is taking 7 to 10 days for the infected patients to recover. At the same time, the acute symptoms of corona are ending in 3 days. This is followed by mild symptoms, which completely disappear in 10 days. Most of the patients are facing the problem of weakness in the body. However, this time the patients are not in need of oxygen so far. 

It is observed that the pace of infection in the third wave is very fast. The doubling rate is being seen in a short time. More cases will increase now. Although the number of serious patients in this is less, what would be the results in the future, it will be known with time only because in the second wave of the corona, the speed of infection was low, however, during that time more seriously infected patients were being found. 

The Delta transition in the second wave is not completely over. In such a situation, there is a possibility of Delta infection in patients with shortness of breath. In this situation, people should always use masks, sanitize hands from time to time as before. It is necessary to follow social distancing. 

Avoid going to crowded areas. If you see symptoms of the corona, you should get tested immediately. At the same time, information about people coming from outside should be given to the administration. This can prevent the spread of infection. 

People should maintain an immunity level to avoid infection. For this, people should consume fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat things that are high in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, oranges, and gooseberries, etc. At the same time, eat fruits and vegetables like papaya with a high amount of vitamin D. Vitamin C and vitamin D protect against corona and other infections.
