Does novel coronavirus pneumonia affect appetite?

Patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia often present with fever and cough, and severe cases are mentally weak and do have some impact on appetite. Some patients may also present with clinical manifestations such as nausea and vomiting. Therefore, for the management of patients with severe novel coronavirus pneumonia, attention must be paid to ensuring the standardized intake of water electrolytes and nutrient components throughout the course of treatment, and patients should be given a light, well-digested diet with balanced nutrition. As the patient’s condition recovers and improves, his appetite can be restored quickly. Therefore, during the whole treatment process, we should follow the doctor’s instructions and carry out standardized management. Source: Dr. Yurai
