Are there any after-effects of the new coronavirus?

Some patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia may have varying degrees of sequelae after recovery, such as psychological trauma, decreased lung function, and decline or loss of taste and smell, but the probability of occurrence is low. 1. Psychological trauma: Relevant scientific research reports that some patients with neococcal pneumonia may have sequelae of psychological trauma, which manifests itself in psychological symptoms such as tension, anxiety, bipolar disorder, sadness, sleep disorders, nightmares, depression, etc., even after healing. In a few patients, psychological trauma lasts even longer than physical trauma. 2. Decrease in lung function: the new coronavirus will affect lung function, which may lead to irreversible damage to lung tissues, such as pulmonary fibrosis, and some patients may suffer from the sequelae of decreased lung function, such as frequent wheezing and breathlessness after exercise. 3. Decline or loss of taste and smell: The new coronavirus may cause a decline or loss of taste and smell, which may persist for a long period of time even after the new coronavirus is cured. Overall, the incidence of sequelae is low, and infected persons are advised to seek medical advice if they experience any subsequent discomfort.
