Dry and itchy throat is not necessarily the new crown pneumonia, there are many diseases that can appear dry and itchy throat symptoms. Dry and itchy throat discomfort suggests that the mucous membrane of the throat may be inflamed and may be a manifestation of pharyngitis. Pathogens that cause pharyngitis include bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma and chlamydia, etc. The new coronavirus is just a specific virus that causes inflammation of the mucous membrane of the throat, so you can’t say that a dry and itchy throat is necessarily a new coronary infection, and you have to combine it with a detailed medical history and examination results to make a diagnosis. According to the new coronavirus pneumonia diagnosis and treatment program (ninth edition for trial implementation) issued by the National Health Commission, the most common symptoms of new coronavirus pneumonia are fever, dry cough and fatigue, and the dry and itchy throat is not a typical symptom of new coronavirus infection. If you suspect that you are infected with C.N.C., it is recommended that you consult your nearest doctor for a definitive diagnosis of C.N.C. antigen and nucleic acid testing. Tip: “New coronavirus pneumonia and new coronavirus pneumonia” mentioned in this article have been renamed to “new coronavirus infection” on December 26, 2022, as announced by the National Health Commission.
