Sore throat and fever is not new official pneumonia

Sore throat and fever may be symptoms of novel coronavirus pneumonia, but they may not be caused by novel coronavirus infection. If the above situation occurs, it is recommended to take a novel coronavirus antigen test or nucleic acid test in time.

First, it is a new coronavirus infection

1. Reason: Since the new coronavirus is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and close contact, patients will have symptoms such as fever, dry cough, and fatigue after infection, and some patients will have upper respiratory tract symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose as the main manifestations.However, a small number of infected people will present with symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and loss of taste and smell;

2. Treatment: If the patient is diagnosed with the new coronavirus infection, the mild patient can be isolated at home and take ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, acetaminophen tablets and other drugs to relieve pain according to the doctor's instructions, and use Chinese patent medicines such as Lianhua Qingwen Granules and Jinhua Qinggan Granules for treatment. Critically ill patients should go to the respiratory medicine department of the hospital as soon as possible to complete the diagnosis of routine blood examination, lung CT examination, etc., and then carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of doctors.

Second, it is not a novel coronavirus infection

In addition to the new coronavirus infection, it can also be seen in colds, acute tonsillitis and other conditions, which can also cause such phenomena. It needs to be handled accordingly on a case-by-case basis.

1. Cold: Usually caused by bacterial or viral infection, common symptoms include sore throat, fever, headache, body aches and weakness, etc., and in severe cases, it will be accompanied by symptoms of loss of appetite and diarrhea. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take compound aminophenamine tablets, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid and other drugs for treatment;

2. Acute tonsillitis: usually due to the decline of the body's resistance, streptococcal or staphylococcal infection, which will lead to congestion and edema of the tonsil mucosa, which will cause severe sore throat, and can also be accompanied by chills, high fever, dysphagia and other symptoms.At this time, it can be treated with antibiotics such as amoxicillin, clavulanate potassium dispersible tablets, cefixime capsules, etc.

The presence of herpangina, purulent tonsillitis, acute laryngitis, acute epiglottitis, etc., can also lead to the occurrence of the above symptoms. It is not possible to determine whether it is a novel coronavirus infection based on a single symptom, and a comprehensive analysis of other clinical features is required.
