The Corona pandemic caused the collapse of the health system in many countries, and the scarcity of medical equipment and financial and human resources was also noted. The effects of the emerging corona virus pandemic resulting from the total isolation of some facilities and the disruption of their transport movements are considered dangerous, which can be compared to the disease itself.
The United Nations Children's Fund has stated that the emerging corona virus pandemic has a serious psychological impact on children even those who have not been infected with the virus, but are there any effects of the corona virus on the body after recovery? Is it possible for these effects to last for a long time?
Corona’s effects on the body after recovery
The emerging corona virus affects people in a real way, and these effects may persist for a long time even after recovery. Here are some of the effects that the emerging corona virus has on health:
need for oxygen Some people need supplemental oxygen even after recovery from illness, especially in people who return to their homes quickly and do not stay enough time in the hospital, and it is recommended to provide oxygen at home in this case, and an expert person must be present in order to give oxygen in a certain concentration and pattern.
Pneumonia can also last for a long time, and in this case it is recommended to give appropriate antibiotics at home.
lung problems Most patients recover fully from lung problems, but some require pulmonary rehabilitation after recovery, and it is recommended to start a pulmonary rehabilitation program as early as thirty days from the start of the injury.
Pulmonary vascular diseases Many people with the new coronavirus who are admitted to the ICU develop blood clots, and this may persist long after recovery. The patient should be given anticoagulant drugs for some time after recovery and constant follow-up by the doctor.
Tracheal problems Some people infected with the emerging coronavirus suffer from perforation of the trachea, and this negatively affects the healing process and human susceptibility to bacterial infection, and the patient must be followed up for a long time after treatment, and surgery is performed in order to treat the perforation of the trachea in some cases.
dysphagia Many people suffer from dysphagia, especially those with pre-existing chronic respiratory diseases, and this problem usually persists long after recovery from the emerging corona virus, and in this case it is recommended to conduct a rehabilitation program for the swallowing process and change the human diet.
Persistent cough Studies and statistics have shown that some people have a cough for eight weeks, and statistics have shown that this cough persists despite receiving many types of treatment.
Lung fibrosis Infection with the emerging corona virus increases the chance of developing lung fibrosis in the future, so it is recommended that people who have had respiratory symptoms for a long period exceeding 12 months to do the necessary lung examinations periodically.
heart problems The new Corona virus leads to problems in the heart muscle, statistics showed that people suffer from heart muscle failure, arrhythmia, and peripheral arterial disease, as these cases, in turn, lead to serious complications and heart attacks.
Urinary tract problems Statistics showed that some patients needed a urinary catheter operation due to infection with the emerging coronavirus, and others had kidney problems that continued for a long time after recovery.
muscle fatigue Corona virus leads to a loss of muscle mass in some people, and the feeling of fatigue continues for a period of time.
Malnutrition Most people who have had heart or lung problems as a result of the novel coronavirus have also experienced weight loss and malnutrition. These people are advised to follow a healthy and integrated diet in order to compensate for the lack of nutrients and vitamins from their bodies after recovery.
psychological problems Many people suffer from delirium, anxiety, and tension after recovering from the emerging corona virus, and these people are advised to follow up with a specialist when the condition persists for a long time without any signs of improvement.
Does human health return to what it was in the past after recovery?
It was noted that the length of the symptoms remained on the person even after his recovery from infection with the emerging corona virus, and there was a need to examine the extent of the infection’s impact on the body after recovery, especially in healthy people who did not have any other diseases and who faced minor symptoms related to the emerging corona virus.
Studies have shown that symptoms of the emerging coronavirus may persist for a long time, even in people who initially encountered mild respiratory symptoms and in young people. Therefore, the best solution is to apply the principle of social distancing, washing hands, and covering the face with a muzzle to prevent infection as much as possible.
Studies conducted on people in the prime of age (18-34 years) with no chronic diseases showed that one out of five people did not return to the same health as it was before for 14-21 days from the date of the examination.
The serious symptoms of the emerging corona virus are associated with elderly people who suffer from chronic diseases, as these people were also associated with the long duration of symptoms and the non-return of general human health to what it was in the past for a period of time.
