However, due to its 100% recovery rate in a typical five-day period, health professionals emphasized that there is no need for concern. The virus's most typical symptoms include a sore throat, a dry cough, a fever, a runny nose, trouble breathing, and body aches. According to Dr. Syed Abdul Aleem, Consultant in Pulmonology at CARE Hospitals in Musheerabad, Hyderabad, "We have been observing coryzal signs in these patients for the last 6 to 8 weeks as they have been suffering from an acute febrile viral disease. 6-7 out of 100 persons have been affected by this illness, and 50% of those affected are youngsters.
"This is due to the children's immunizations not being complete. Adults with concomitant lung disorders including COPD (also known as smoker's asthma), post-TB, and COVID-destroyed lungs and asthma make up the remaining 50% of patients, according to Dr. Aleem, who was quoted by HT.
He proposed the tests COVID RT-PCR, H1N1, H3N2, and Influenza A&B since he said the unidentified virus may be COVID-19, Influenza, Adeno, or MERS. The specialist said that they are diagnosing the illness early and treating it with symptomatic measures. According to HT, doctors are utilizing the anti-viral medication "Oseltamivir" to treat patients with respiratory failure, and patients are reporting positive results.
Dr. Aleem suggested keeping social distance, using an N95 mask to cover the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, performing good hand hygiene, getting an influenza vaccination, etc. as preventative measures for the unknown virus.
