Is facial fever a new type of pneumonia

During a novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, many people will experience anxiety, such as feeling a facial fever or aching limbs, or feeling a body that feels feverish, and will feel panic at this time. But for the prevention and control of novel coronavirus pneumonia on the one hand, we should pay attention to the necessary preventive and control measures, and on the other hand, we should not worry too much, but should prevent and control scientifically. If you feel a facial fever or body fever, be sure to take your temperature. If the body temperature is >37.3°C it is considered a febrile patient, at which point it is decided whether it is a suspected patient based on whether there is a history of appropriate epidemiological exposure, and it is only then that appropriate management measures are applied. In fact, most patients who feel a facial fever or body fever, malaise, or aching limbs are not patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia. Only after the presence of fever, dry cough, and a history of appropriate exposure, including having been in an infected area within 14 days of the fever, or having been exposed to similar patients with a clustered illness, combined with imaging, blood tests and other indicators, are they judged to be suspected patients, and then further nucleic acid testing is done to confirm the diagnosis. So it is important to pay attention to every manifestation in the body as well as not to be overly anxious. During the prevention and control of the new coronavirus, all you have to do is scientific prevention and control. Content source: Dr. You Lai
