The common cold tends to be more katalogically symptomatic and can have fever, sore throat, runny nose, etc., while novel coronavirus pneumonia may be more of a lower respiratory infection manifestation such as fever and cough. That is to say, the cold is mostly upper respiratory tract involvement, while the new coronavirus pneumonia is mostly lower respiratory tract involvement, but this symptom may have a crossover, as well as atypical cases. So when friends have fever symptoms, they need to recall whether they have been to Wuhan and other areas where the disease is endemic, and whether they have been in contact with other people with fever, that is, whether they have an epidemiologic history. In addition to this, it is important to go to the hospital to do the necessary tests, and it is recommended to go to the fever clinic and other hospitals to do the appropriate tests. Source: Dr. Yurai
