What to watch out for 3 to 6 months after recovering from COVID-19

　　"Post-Yang" generally refers to the period after infection with the novel coronavirus. In general, it is important to be vigilant about respiratory system damage, digestive system damage, sudden cardiac death, thrombosis prevention, and secondary infections during the 3 to 6 months following a novel coronavirus infection. Specific analyses are as follows:

　　1. Respiratory System Damage

　　Shortness of breath and coughing are common respiratory symptoms, persisting for at least 7 months in 40% and 20% of patients, respectively. Patients may follow medical advice to use medications such as roxithromycin capsules or She Dan Chuan Bei Liquid for treatment.

　　2. Digestive System Damage

　　Digestive system damage often manifests as nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, heartburn, and constipation. Patients may follow medical advice to use medications such as sodium bicarbonate tablets or aluminum magnesium carbonate tablets for treatment.

　　3. Sudden Cardiac Death

　　During the period following a novel coronavirus infection, many people gradually increase their food intake, especially high-fat, high-salt, and high-sugar foods, which may lead to elevated blood pressure, abnormal blood lipids, and increased risk of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, potentially resulting in sudden cardiac death. Patients may follow medical advice to use medications such as Su Xiao Jiu Xin Wan (Fast-acting Heart-Saving Pills) or sodium bicarbonate tablets for treatment.

　　4. Thrombosis Prevention

　　Novel coronavirus infection can trigger systemic inflammatory activity, making arterial plaques more unstable and increasing the risk of plaque rupture and thrombus formation, thereby raising the likelihood of acute myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. It also significantly increases the risk of venous and arterial thrombosis. Patients may follow medical advice to use medications such as atorvastatin calcium capsules or aspirin tablets for treatment.

　　5. Secondary Infection

　　Secondary infection may still occur after a novel coronavirus infection, with a higher mortality rate and more severe illness compared to the initial infection. Patients may follow medical advice to use medications such as azvudine tablets or ibuprofen tablets to improve their condition.

　　It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician to facilitate recovery.
