As of July 30, 834 people fell ill with coronavirus in our country, of which 499 people recovered. Such data are provided by the operational headquarters for the interaction of relevant executive authorities to develop measures to prevent the import and spread of a new coronavirus infection on the territory of the Russian Federation. What symptoms may persist in those who have recovered, and how normal is this? We asked a competent specialist about this.

– Information about the consequences of the postponed coronavirus is different, it comes from all parts of the world. The only symptom that everyone notes is severe weakness, which persists for a long time. There are people who recovered early in the year and are still experiencing it.
All other symptoms are nonspecific and are different for everyone: someone has temperature, someone vascular events, someone else has something. COVID basically affects the entire body.
Expressed weakness is noted by absolutely everyone who has had coronavirus, when even routine household things, for example, washing dishes, is already a feat. On the other hand, after a common pneumonia, a surge of energy is more common.
Today we know that there is a massive defeat of small vessels throughout the body, including the arterial bed. The consequences and sympathies are very much dependent on the individual.
The so-called temperature tail, or subfebrile condition (constant increase in temperature), can persist for several more months, which is more characteristic of pneumonia, which is a complication of coronavirus.
There is evidence that this virus also infects brain and the hypothalamus. So he, obviously, can penetrate into the center of thermoregulation and close something there. So, for example, whooping cough infection acts, which closes the cough centers in the brain, and even when the bacteria are gone, a person coughs for a long time.
Important: if the patient has only a fever and nothing else, then, probably, you need to come to terms with this, but if there are other symptoms, then you should figure out if a secondary or tertiary infection has joined. For example, it can be parainfluenza (acute viral disease related to ARVI). Pneumonia can be accompanied by pleurisy, due to which remains chest pain and small sputum discharge.
