Unusual Covid-19 symptoms you need to know

Dry cough, fever, tiredness, shortness of breath, and chest pain are some of the most common symptoms associated with Covid-19. However, these are not the only symptoms you can experience. Various reports around the world have emerged that suggest people testing positive for coronavirus are allegedly experiencing some unusual symptoms that can be easily misunderstood as minor physical discomforts. Here are some of the unusual symptoms of Covid-19:

Gastrointestinal symptoms

Patients may experience some mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, nausea and loss of appetite. Although these symptoms typically last for a day or two, some people may experience them before developing fever and dry cough.

Loss of smell or taste

This is one of the most common symptoms associated with covid-19. However, a new version of loss of smell or taste has come into notice which takes place without any nasal congestion and is said to last between 9-14 days.

Itchy lesions

Younger people who have mild symptoms of Covid-19 might develop itchy, painful lesions on their head or feet that are said to resemble chilblains, an inflammatory skin condition. They are even called Covid toes and usually last for about 12 days.

Eye problems

A fairly uncommon Covid-19 symptom that leads to eye problems like enlarged and swollen eyelids, excessive watering, and red blood vessels. In some cases, patients may also experience light insensitivity. This is most common in patients who have severe symptoms.

Hiccups

Two Covid-19 patients in the US have shown hiccups as their only significant symptoms. Experts assert that hiccups can be a very rare sign of the Covid-19 virus. However, it is still very early to say anything concrete about it and more research is required to establish any kind of relationship between Covid-19 and continuous hiccups.

Confusion and headache

It is highly common in older people and in those who experience severe symptoms. Unfortunately, it can be easily misunderstood as a symptom or a sign of dementia. Symptoms of COVID-19 may appear between two to fourteen days after being exposed to the virus. However, in order to stop this virus from spreading like wildfire, we all need to follow important precautionary measures like regular disinfection of hands, following social distancing and wearing masks. For instance, you can opt for Safekind N95 masks. They have a ProGuard 5 layer technology for supreme protection and are designed thoughtfully to ensure comfort and safety simultaneously. Moreover, you should also consider keeping Safekind hand sanitizers handy. They not only boast 70% alcohol content but are infused with the goodness of aloe vera and glycerine for keeping your hands moisturized and soft.
