The symptoms of novel coronavirus pneumonia are mainly fever, cough and malaise, and occasionally chest pain. Most of the chest pain is due to inflammation of the airways from the throat down to the trachea, while the new coronavirus inflammation is mostly in the extra-pulmonary fields, indicating that the virus mainly invades the lung tissue, not the airways, so there are not many real airway reactions and pharyngeal reactions. From the TCM point of view, it is mainly the heat that enters the process. If the heat is heavy, some patients will have a sore throat and possibly chest pain, but not a lot. If you have symptoms of sore throat and chest pain, you should identify it as a common cold or a cold caused by influenza virus, not necessarily a disease caused by a new coronavirus.
