Itchy throat and coughing may not necessarily be new coronary pneumonia, but may also be laryngitis, bronchitis or common pneumonia. The main symptoms of novel coronary pneumonia are fever, malaise, dry cough, and in a few patients, nasal congestion, runny nose, and diarrhea. Severe patients tend to develop respiratory distress after a week, and severe cases can progress rapidly to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, uncorrectable metabolic acidosis, and bleeding and clotting dysfunction. If you have a tickling cough with the above symptoms, you should go to a specialized fever clinic as soon as possible. If there are no such symptoms, there is no need to be overly concerned and symptomatic treatment and observation is sufficient.
