Recently, everyone's main attention has been focused on the incidence and prevention of new coronavirus pneumonia . It can be seen from the daily epidemic reports that the number of people who have been cured is gradually increasing.
At the beginning of the disease, several unproven drugs appeared for the treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia. However, because everyone is frightened about the new coronavirus pneumonia, almost everyone pays attention to any drug reports related to it. Focus.
Although some drugs for new coronavirus pneumonia are being tested, they have not yet been fully used in clinical practice. Therefore, at present, the treatment of new coronavirus is still based on symptomatic treatment.
The so-called symptomatic treatment simply means that the corresponding treatment method is adopted according to the symptoms of the patient. As long as the patient is discovered in time and treated in time, there will generally be a higher cure rate.
Some people are very scared when they see so many new deaths every day. In fact, don’t be too alarmed. Deaths will occur when any disease occurs at a high rate. For example, the mortality rate of influenza pneumonia is about 9%, while the mortality rate of the new coronavirus is about 9%. The mortality rate of viral pneumonia is about 10%, so the mortality rates of the two are similar. Why
causes people to panic? It can only be said that it is not well understood yet. Therefore, with the continuous in-depth research on the new coronavirus, I believe it will become a disease similar to influenza in the future.
Currently, everyone is not only concerned about the latest research on the new coronavirus, but also about the sequelae caused by it. The sequelae are mentioned many times in most media reports, but are not elaborated on, so some people do not understand I am very worried about the situation, worried that as long as I contract the new type of coronavirus pneumonia, there will be 100% sequelae.
Let’s take a look at the sequelae of the new coronavirus pneumonia and how high its probability is?
Under normal circumstances, mild novel coronavirus pneumonia will generally not have any sequelae after being cured, so everyone does not need to worry so much.
Some more serious cases may leave sequelae, but there are still a small number of serious cases, and whether there are sequelae is related to the patient's constitution, age, and whether he has suffered from chronic diseases in the past.
For example, some cases caused death! This group of people is mainly older and suffers from chronic diseases all year round, so whether there are sequelae is also related to it.
After introducing the groups susceptible to sequelae, let’s take a look at what the sequelae are.
After the onset of new coronavirus pneumonia, it will cause lung inflammation, which will destroy lung tissue. If the condition is severe, the damage will be more serious.
But after the disease is cured, the damage to the lungs cannot return to normal for a period of time, just like the scars left after our skin is injured, so when the damaged lung tissue forms scars, it becomes " pulmonary fibrosis”.
The lesions in some organs of our body are similar to the fibrosis caused by the new coronavirus pneumonia. For example, repeated inflammatory stimulation of the liver will lead to necrosis of liver cells, which will not be able to recover until it causes liver cirrhosis and .
So what impact will having "pulmonary fibrosis" have on daily life?
In fact, whether it will affect daily life depends on the condition of pulmonary fibrosis, the patient's overall physical condition, age, etc. If the condition is mild, the impact on daily life will not be big, but if the pulmonary fibrosis is more serious, then it will It has an impact on life. For example, due to pulmonary fibrosis, the lung ventilation function is reduced, so the patient will be out of breath after walking for a while, and will feel out of breath when climbing stairs.
But what is gratifying is that our lungs have strong repair capabilities. Mild pulmonary fibrosis can still be repaired. Only a few more serious cases cannot return to normal.
The above is an introduction to the sequelae of the new coronavirus pneumonia. Therefore, although some cases may have sequelae, don’t worry too much. This situation is still very rare.
