Experts point to people's attempts to self-medicate as one of the reasons for the increase in coronavirus infection in Azerbaijan, as well as coronavirus deaths. When people become infected with the coronavirus, they try to treat themselves without a doctor's supervision, thinking that it is a seasonal flu.
As a result, experts say, the health of a person infected with the virus worsens, and he goes to the doctor late. All this leads to an increase in deaths among people infected with COVID-19. According to the doctor, although these two infections have many similar symptoms, there are serious differences. The first important difference between influenza and coronavirus is that flu symptoms spread faster. At first, a person may feel a little anxious and weak during Covid-19 infection.
Symptoms of COVID-19 include high fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue and weakness, muscle or body pain, headache, loss of smell and taste, sore throat, nasal congestion or runny nose, upset stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea. Symptoms of the flu include cough, fever (which may not be present), sore throat, nasal congestion or runny nose, muscle or body pain, headache, and fatigue: "Because of the many similarities, it can be difficult to diagnose diseases. It is recommended that people isolate themselves when they feel any signs of infection and seek professional help immediately! ”
