The new crown epidemic has been with us for three years. It can be said that in these three years, we have always believed that we will win the fight against the epidemic.
The new coronavirus is constantly mutating, and the most common ones appear now are the Omickron mutation strains. Although has very strong infectiousness, its toxicity is constantly declining.
So many people say that the current COVID-19 infection is like the usual influenza. You can go through it with just taking some medicine. Now we are no longer doing nucleic acid on a large scale like before, but only need it for some special units.
What are the symptoms of COVID-19 infection?
Fever
After infection with the novel coronavirus, most patients will have fever . If the patient has gone to medium- and high-risk areas or has been in contact with the confirmed case, his body temperature exceeds 37.3, it needs to be taken seriously.
weak all over
When the first coronavirus invades the body, it will destroy the body's immune system . The patient's immunity will gradually decline, and many people will experience fatigue all over. In severe cases, some very simple movements cannot be completed, such as dressing, etc.
d cough
new coronavirus pneumonia is also a type of respiratory disease. After infection with New coronavirus , some symptoms of discomfort will also appear in the respiratory system, such as dry cough and cough, etc. Some patients will have very little cough or a small amount of sputum. As the condition worsens, some people will also experience dyspnea, respiratory failure and other serious symptoms.
Shortness of breath
Now, most patients with COVID-19 are mild or asymptomatic, but if they are in severe or critical condition, after imaging examination, they will find that many small patches or changes will appear in the lungs. As the condition continues to develop, acute respiratory distress syndrome is likely to occur. generally has shortness of breath and requires the help of a ventilator to provide oxygen.
septic shock
If the infection is serious, sepsis may occur. The patient will have various problems of dysfunction and exhaustion, which will also cause shock if it is serious.
New coronary pneumonia patients need to exercise appropriately during the treatment period to strengthen their body's nutrition, so as to improve their resistance and immune system, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.
With the relaxation of national policies, many people are now worried that they will not be able to buy drugs in time when they have regulatory infections. so they hope to keep some drugs to achieve preventive effects.
especially for pain and fever throughout the body. Because this situation is difficult to solve even if you drink water, many people choose to buy antipyretic drugs. Some people will recommend buying ibuprofen , which is an antipyretic and analgesic drug, and is recommended to improve mild COVID-19 infection.
Take ibuprofen for COVID-19 infection? What should I pay attention to?
ibuprofen can relieve fever and analgesic effects, but it cannot treat COVID-19, it can only be treated because of the fever symptoms caused by COVID-19.
The new coronavirus is caused by infection with the new coronavirus. In clinical practice, symptomatic treatment is mainly used, mainly in isolation. It is only one of the main characteristics of this disease. If has symptoms of fever, you can take ibuprofen, but it cannot be abused.
The new coronary pneumonia is relatively contagious. When similar symptoms appear, you should take medicine under the guidance of a doctor and use some medicines at will. This will not only affect the recovery of the disease, but may also lead to the spread of the disease.
Who is not suitable for taking ibuprofen?
Patients who need to use some antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants in combination due to chronic disease treatment are not suitable for taking ibuprofen.
If patients with severe coronary heart disease or heart failure and other diseases in the past, it is not suitable to take it.
If you have had a history of severe gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding, these people are not suitable for taking ibuprofen.
For patients with severe renal insufficiency, they should be avoided.
If these people have symptoms of fever, can take acetaminophen instead of ibuprofen , but the daily dose also needs to be controlled.
What should I pay attention to when using ibuprofen?
ibuprofen can relieve fever, pain and anti-inflammatory effects, but it cannot kill the virus. The symptoms are relieved after taking the medicine, which does not mean that it has recovered.
0 What you need to eliminate viruses is the human body's own immune system. It takes about 7 to 10 days from infection to producing specific antibodies to eliminate viruses.
Now some of the drugs we have have have have very little impact on the natural course of the virus, but during the infection with the new coronavirus, you need to pay attention to rest more and drink more water, and pay attention to maintaining a balanced nutrition. can keep the immune system in an efficient operation state and defeat the virus faster.
When taking ibuprofen, you need to take the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees before taking it. If the high fever lasts for three days and there is no sign of relief, you should go to the hospital in time to choose to seek medical treatment . It is not recommended to use this drug for more than 5 days.
is prohibited for people who are allergic to ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is not recommended for pregnant women and breastfeeding periods.
ibuprofen and aspirin will compete for binding sites, affecting the effect of aspirin against platelets . Therefore, when taking aspirin, should be more than 5 hours apart from taking ibuprofen, or replace ibuprofen with acetaminophen.
In fact, for COVID-19 infection, the symptoms of everyone's body are different. It is safer and more effective to take medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
