Fever and runny nose are common manifestations of upper respiratory tract infections. In fact, for novel coronavirus pneumonia, patients often present with fever and cough, especially dry cough, which are relatively common, while patients with severe disease often present with dyspnea and chest tightness, and fever and runny nose are more likely to be manifestations of upper respiratory tract infection. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish from the symptoms that fever and runny nose, especially when the body temperature is not very high, are not new coronavirus pneumonia. However, it is important to note that disease manifestations can be varied, and it is not a good idea to let down your guard because of the absence of manifestations such as cough. If there is a history of corresponding epidemiological exposure and a clustering of illnesses, it is important to seek prompt medical attention, and not to let down your guard because of the absence of manifestations such as cough.
