What will you do after Yangkang?
I believe that many people will say that they have recovered, of course, they must do whatever they want. Especially young people, with the advantage of youth is capital, Yangkang began to wait to go crazy, as everyone knows, Yangkang does not mean that the virus in the body has completely disappeared, Yangkang after the physical weakness, poor immunity, if not pay attention, the disease will be targeted again.
28-year-old Xiao Wu, Yangkang immediately began to stay up crazy nightlife, Xiao Wang said that he likes to play online games, after Yang he lay in bed for a few days, now he feels almost recovered, and stares at the computer screen all day long.
It's just that Xiao Wu never expected that after just staying up late for two days, he fell ill again.
Fever, cough, cough up yellow purulent sputum, go to the hospital to take a film, only to find that it is caused by pneumonia.
Xiao Wu said that his nucleic acid has turned negative, why has the condition recurred?
The doctor told Xiao Wu that he was suffering from lobar pneumonia, although it was not caused by new crown virus infection, but immunity has not fully recovered after Yangkang, Xiao Wu is back to his old business, staying up late can easily lead to a decrease in immunity, not only the new crown virus in the air, but also all kinds of bacteria, when immunity is reduced, bacteria will also take advantage of the void, like Xiao Wu's case, that is, after the immunity is reduced, infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae.
As a doctor, I have always reminded my patients that Yangkang does not mean complete recovery, most infected people may not have any symptoms in seven or eight days, and the nucleic acid test is also negative, but it does not mean that there is no virus in the body, and studies have found that it takes a total of 35 days for the virus to be completely eliminated by the body from infection to the body.
The time for domestic liberalization is not long, how many sequelae of new crown infection will be, and how long the sequelae will last, it is unknown, but foreign countries that have long been liberalized have long found the sequelae related to the new crown, some of which last for several months, and some last for more than a year.
Therefore, after Yangkang, we can not do whatever we want, we must give the body enough time and energy to repair the trauma caused by the new crown, in this process, we must not hurt the body too much, just like 28-year-old Xiao Wu, recovering from a serious illness, and began to stay up late madly, doing so will only make the body worse.
Speaking of this, many people will ask, doctor, since you said that nucleic acid turning negative does not mean complete recovery, then, after Yangkang, what signs appear that indicate that there has not been a complete recovery?
First, cough after infection, after Yangkang many people still cough non-stop, and mainly dry cough, many people go to the hospital to take a chest x-ray or do chest CT did not find anything abnormal, at this time, to be alert to post-infection cough, the so-called post-infection cough, refers to respiratory infection itself after the acute symptoms disappear, cough is still not healed. Post-infection cough is mostly manifested as irritating dry cough or coughing up a small amount of white mucus sputum, which can last for 3~8 weeks, or even longer. The main reason for infectious cough is that the damaged airway mucosa has not been completely repaired, and in layman's terms, there is still inflammation in the airway. But cough after infection does not need special treatment, be patient, as long as you rest and recuperate, the time will naturally disappear.
Second, hair loss, after Yangkang, a lot of hair loss, many people worry about whether it will become bald? In fact, this kind of hair loss is caused by telogen effluvium after infection, telogen effluvation is caused by a variety of stress factors normal telogen clubbing excessive shedding, this situation is most common in the postpartum period, but after Yangkang many people will also appear, do not worry too much, as long as rest and recuperate, strengthen nutrition, in 6 months ~ 1 year will stop hair loss on its own, hair can grow again.
Third, burnout, many people feel particularly tired after Yangkang, no matter what they used to do, they were full of energy, but now, even if they eat a meal, they feel weak, they can't fight all day, and even look like zombies are mentally weak, think about how uncomfortable you are in the days of new crown infection! What you can't see is the fierce confrontation between the body and the virus, the first recovery of the serious illness, the recovery of the body still takes time, there is a small hole in the hand, it will take time to recover, let alone infected with such a powerful virus.
Fourth, shortness of breath after activity, Yangkang after walking two steps panting, feeling that his lungs are like being hollowed out, doing lung CT and no problem, in fact, the root cause is that the infection affects lung function, and it takes time to recover lung function, so you must not be in a hurry.
Fifth, abnormal taste, bad appetite, after Yangkang, always feel that eating nothing tastes, even if it is their favorite food, eat and feel indigestible, in fact, these are signs that the body has not completely recovered.
Sixth, tinnitus and hearing loss, Yangkang after feeling buzzing in the ears, like mosquitoes flying around, and even hearing loss, feeling that if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear anything.
Seventh, poor concentration and memory loss. After Yangkang, the efficiency of work and study was greatly reduced, it was difficult to concentrate, and memory declined.
A survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Center for Health Statistics showed that nearly 1/5 of respondents who had been infected with new coronary pneumonia said they were suffering from "long-term symptoms of new coronary pneumonia". In Europe, about 1 in 10 European COVID patients still have symptoms of discomfort 12 weeks after recovery. The British research team has surveyed more than 600,000 British community populations, analyzed the prevalence in the population and the mainstream new crown sequelae through 12 weeks of observation, and assessed the risk factors leading to sequelae. The study found 36 sequelae, including: severe fatigue, difficulty breathing, insomnia, chest pain or heaviness, fever, palpitations, cognitive impairment, loss of smell, taste loss, headache, rash and joint pain or swelling, post-viral syndrome, long-term tissue or organ damage, and persistent inflammation. The results of this research were published as early as 2021 in the well-known sub-journal Nature Communications.
If there are still symptoms after Yangkang, this indicates that you have not completely recovered, if you still do something unhealthy at this time, using various bad habits will destroy health, and the result can be imagined.
As doctors, we also often encounter some patients who do not listen to advice, such as some patients already have serious lung diseases, but he is still unwilling to quit smoking, some patients have severe cirrhosis, but he is still unwilling to quit drinking, we will tell them, life is their own, if they do not cherish it, they are terminally ill, no matter how much money to treat it will not help.
