Patients with novel coronaviral pneumonia may experience sneezing, but not all sneezing is due to novel coronaviral pneumonia. Novel coronavirus pneumonia often presents with fever, malaise, dry cough, and in a few patients, nasal congestion, runny nose, and diarrhea. Severe cases tend to develop respiratory distress after a week, with rapid progression to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, uncorrectable metabolic acidosis, and bleeding and coagulation dysfunction in severe cases. In addition, patients with severe and critical forms may have moderate to low fever or even no significant fever during the course of the disease. Some patients may also have no significant fever, which is also due to individual differences in body composition.
