In a continuous advance of the omicron variant throughout the world, which has triggered infections by adding it to the social gatherings of the beginning of the year, studies on this deviation of the coronavirus increase in parallel to try to find a solution in this regard. . In the meantime, it should be noted that it is important … although they can be confused with those of the flu or a common cold.
That ómicron has had its highest peak in the winter season is not trivial. The cold favors a greater ability of SARS-CoV-2 to survive, which has helped this variant to also be more effective in contagion. This, added to the fact that from November to February is the typical time for colds and constipations, has also caused tests to detect covid-19 to be massive in order to differentiate diseases.
And it is that on many occasions having a sore throat, cough or general discomfort does not mean that you are under the effects of the coronavirus. Hence the importance of antigen self-tests, which in many cases can dispel doubts and confirm that a patient is under the effects of a disease with which they have lived for years.
Mostly mild signs, so they do not check severity in the majority of patients, both cold and flu and coronavirus are not usually latent in the human body for more than ten days.
These are the symptoms of omicron
Very similar to those that have been detected in any positive since the start of the pandemic, the main symptoms of the omicron variant are fever, cough, fatigue, and reduced appetite. Of course, mild, its highest peak is between three and six days since the infection was contracted:
– Cough.
– Runny nose.
– Fatigue.
– Throat pain.
– Headache.
– Muscle pain.
– Fever.
– Sneezing.
– Reduced odour.
– Reduced appetite.
– Heavy breathing.
– Reduced taste.
– Abdominal pain.
These are the symptoms of the flu
Seasonal disease par excellence, given that beyond winter it is very rare to suffer from it, its resemblance to covid-19 is such that the key to the fight against the coronavirus is to make it the same as the flu today. Regarding its symptoms, the most common are:
– Cough.
– Runny nose.
– Throat pain.
– Headache.
– Muscle pain.
– Fever.
– Joint pain.
– Intense discomfort.
These are the symptoms of a cold
Lastly, the least worrisome of these illnesses is a common cold. Very typical of exposing the body to low temperatures, it is also known as a cold, and consists of a mild infection of the respiratory system. Its symptoms have their peak on the second or third day and are:
– Cough.
– Runny nose.
– Throat pain.
– Fever.
– Sneezing.
– Tearing.
Therefore, it should be noted that while the flu usually lasts the longest in symptoms, almost two weeks, the majority of cases due to omicron differ from this and from a common cold due to the lack of appetite and reduced odour. Of course, since these symptoms do not occur in all patients, their detention in such a case is in the times of contagion and the diagnostic tests available to detect the presence of coronavirus.
