What are the symptoms of Siyang?

“Fourth wave” usually refers to the fourth infection with the novel coronavirus. In general, symptoms of a fourth infection with the novel coronavirus may include fever, fatigue, cough, sore throat, loss of appetite, and others. If any of these symptoms occur, medical attention should be sought promptly. Specific details are as follows:

1. Fever

Fever is one of the common symptoms of novel coronavirus infection. After entering the human body, the virus activates the immune system, triggering an inflammatory response that leads to elevated body temperature.

2. Fatigue

After infection, the body uses large amounts of energy to fight the virus and mount an immune response, leading to feelings of fatigue. Additionally, novel coronavirus infection may impair normal cellular functions, causing patients to feel weak and exhausted.

3. Cough

Novel coronavirus infection typically involves the respiratory tract and may cause congestion and irritation of the respiratory mucosa, resulting in coughing.

4. Sore throat

The novel coronavirus invades respiratory epithelial cells and replicates within them, activating the immune system and triggering an inflammatory response. This inflammation can affect the respiratory tract and lead to sore throat.

5. Loss of appetite

The immune response and inflammatory state triggered by novel coronavirus infection may disrupt normal gastrointestinal function, leading to decreased appetite.

During infection, patients should take antiviral oral solutions, Ganmaoling granules, Lianhua Qingwen capsules, or other medications as advised by their doctors. Adequate rest and increased fluid intake are also important to help alleviate symptoms.
