8. Put used tissues, masks, disposable gloves and other household waste into plastic bags and place them in special trash cans.

Symptoms on the 7th day after the onset of COVID-19
Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Beijing You'an Hospital and a medical expert at Xiaotangshan Fangcang Hospital, once summarized a "symptom analysis" of ordinary young and middle-aged patients infected with the novel coronavirus, and their nucleic acid turned negative from the first to the seventh day of the onset of the disease.
Day 1: Symptoms are mild. You may feel a slight dryness, sore throat, and general fatigue.
Day 2: Fever symptoms began to appear, and some young people had a high fever of around 39 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the discomfort in the throat worsened.
Day 3: The day with the most severe symptoms. High fever above 39 degrees Celsius, body aches and fatigue, and sore throat getting worse.
Day 4: The peak body temperature begins to decrease. Many people's body temperature drops to normal from this day, and they no longer have fever, but they still have sore throat and itchy throat. Some people started to have runny noses and coughs.
Day 5: The body temperature basically dropped to normal. However, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, cough, and physical fatigue still exist.
Day 6: No more fever. Symptoms such as cough and runny nose worsen. The respiratory mucous membrane caused by virus in the early stage is destroyed, and the body excretes necrotic cells through runny nose and coughing.
Day 7: All symptoms began to improve significantly. Nucleic acid is very likely to turn negative.
Seek medical treatment promptly in these situations
Liu Huiguo, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Wuhan Tongji Hospital, said that in the following situations, seek medical treatment promptly:
1. If the fever lasts for three days, it is best to go to the hospital for a blood test.
If neutrophils are high, it means there is inflammation and infection. It is recommended to use it in conjunction with antibiotics .

2. If a serious cough causes chest pain, and when ordinary cough medicine is ineffective, you should seek medical treatment in time.
When the symptoms of chest tightness and breathlessness are very serious, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. To determine the cause of the disease, if the breathlessness is caused by asthma , it should be treated with asthma drugs such as Enmingrun (indateromometasone inhalation powder spray), Enzhuorun (indagomol inhalation powder spray), etc. If it is lung infection , anti-infective treatment should be carried out.
3. You need to be reminded when taking medication for young children.
Choose symptomatic drugs. When waiting for intermittent relief of symptoms before going to the hospital, you can use children's antipyretics, children's cough medicine, and children's phlegm medicine. However, you should follow the doctor's advice when using antiviral drugs, because the safety of many drugs for infants and young children has not been verified. Therefore, if young children are sick, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
How do stone patients come to the hospital for medical treatment?
1. Stone patients are required to wear medical protective masks when visiting the hospital. Currently, Sichuan Stone Disease Hospital outpatients do not need to produce a nucleic acid report. Inpatients can be admitted to the hospital with a 24-hour nucleic acid negative certificate.
2. Patients who come to the hospital who need to be accompanied will be provided with fixed escorts, and one person will be accompanied by one.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if you have symptoms such as dull pain in the right upper abdomen, nausea and vomiting after eating greasy food, or discomfort similar to stomach bloating at night, please seek medical treatment in time. Do not delay treatment due to excessive panic about the epidemic.
