Patients with novel coronary pneumonia do not necessarily have a cough all the time. Patients with novel coronary pneumonia usually have a dry cough, fever, and malaise as their main symptoms. Cough is the main clinical manifestation of novel coronary pneumonia, and its cough is usually more intense, mostly dry, with little sputum and a cough that tends to recur. New coronary pneumonia can be gradually relieved by early trial of antiviral drugs and, if combined with other pathogenic infections, by treatment with sensitive anti-infective drugs, and, if necessary, by symptomatic treatment with cough suppressants, which can reduce or even eliminate the cough. It should also be noted that some patients with mild disease may only have low fever and general malaise as their main manifestations without cough or sputum, and should be differentiated accordingly.
