When suffering from novel coronavirus pneumonia, there are almost no cold symptoms if pneumonia has already occurred. This infectious disease is called plague in Chinese medicine, which is an epidemic evil, so the onset of the disease is relatively quick compared to the common cold. Generally the first three days of a cold can appear sneezing, runny nose, throat discomfort, gradually occur headache, fever, or sore throat, cough symptoms, but the pre-symptoms of the new coronavirus pneumonia in most cases is still mainly fever, cough, dyspnea and general malaise. So the symptoms are more concentrated dyspnea and lack of oxygen, these are caused by the inflammatory storm in the lungs, the body appears a lot of exudation, including the autopsy now found that the dead person’s lungs or filled with a large amount of mucus to impede respiration, so there is still a relatively big difference with the common cold.
