Covid-19 is this year’s headline running out and the virus is still there. The second wave has started and with it the viruses of the season. People find it difficult to separate the symptoms whether they are from the coronavirus or the common flu.
However one study shows that there is a noticeable difference with sty conditions and that is the order of the symptoms. A team of researchers at the University of Southern California tried to understand the most common order in which symptoms appear.
Data from 55,000 cases in China were used for the study.
Based on the results of this study, the order of symptoms is as follows:
Fever / Fever
cough
Nausea and / or vomiting
diarrhea
When they expanded their analysis to include additional symptoms, the order again looked similar:
Fever / Fever
cough
Sore throat, muscle aches or headaches
Nausea and / or vomiting
diarrhea
And finally the loss of taste or smell
The researchers also compared the possible progression of Covid flu symptoms and found that the flu was more likely to start with coughing instead of fever. People with the flu were also more likely to have body aches, headaches and sore throats before they had a fever.
Of course these results are not universal, as there are people who have no fever at all from Covid.
Another limitation of this study is also the fact that many people do not remember the true order of the symptoms.
The difference and diagnosis is made by the tampon and for advice and suggestions is entrusted only to the doctor.
