There are some common symptoms that can occur in children with Covid-19.
Outbreaks of coronavirus in children were consistently low throughout the epidemic. However, the fight between those who have been infected and the whole family may be more difficult than that of an adult patient.
Some studies are claiming that a new type of coronavirus that has been discovered in recent times is much more risky for children.
That's why in order to make people aware, the experts have highlighted the most common symptoms of coronavirus infection in children so far.
A report published on a health website provides details.
The severity of the disease is lower in children: in many cases the type of Covid-19 in children is different from that in adults. Among them, a mild form of the disease is seen. The symptoms appear late. On the other hand, the 'antibodies' that are made in their body are also weak.
Experts claim that about one-third of pediatric covid-19 patients were asymptomatic. However, some of the symptoms that have been observed are different from those of adult patients. Children, on the other hand, spread the virus over a long period of time. So children need to be kept more secure to ensure both the child and their own safety.
Symptoms seen in children
Cough: In children as well as adults, the virus enters the body through the respiratory tract. As a result, symptoms like 'dry cough', sore throat etc. are seen. If a mild fever occurs, there is a strong risk that his corona will be positive. Cough is also a common symptom in adults. About 75 to 80 percent of Kovid-19 patients had mild to severe cough.
Runny nose:This symptom is not just related to coronavirus. The corona test was mostly negative in children with various symptoms of influenza with seasonal colds. However, if the throat is stuck and water starts coming through the nose, then the suspicion in 'Covid-19' will not be unfounded. In such cases, it is important to look for other symptoms of coronavirus infection.
Skin rash: This symptom was seen at the beginning of the epidemic. Dangerous signs such as unexpected rashes on different parts of the skin, infections in the small blood vessels of the skin, swelling of the fingers or toes, etc. In such a situation, you need to consult a doctor quickly.
Headaches: Symptoms of pain due to infection are less common in children. However, headaches are more common in children, which can be quite unbearable. Headaches are found in about 14 percent of adults, but 55 percent of children. And all of them come to the corona test 'positive'.
Loss of sense of taste and smell: Multiple studies claim that children are seven times more likely to lose taste and smell due to coronavirus infection than adults. Because of this children will lose appetite, will be exhausted, physical weakness will increase. And these are all possible symptoms of infection.
Stomach upset:Diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, etc. can also be symptoms of coronavirus infection. However, these problems can be seen in adults with severe coronavirus infection. However, in the case of children, these problems occur only in mild infections.
