Talk to Pulmonologist / Lung on CORONA VIRUS

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Female, 21 years old, islamabad, Pakistan

I am having this allergy for a long time. Every year in the spring season (march) i sneeze a lot and have flu for some time. Also I have throat irritation and it sometimes leads to fever.This happens every year and now i have the same problem. Currently people are so worried about corona virus. So Is it okay to have just flu and not mix it with corona virus?

If you have this condition every year then this is most probably seasonal allergy. The main difference between allergy and Corona virus is that allergic symptoms are limited to mainly eyes and nose like stuffy and running nose and itching eyes whereas corona virus is a viral infection and will cause body pain
You may have fever in both cases but in coronavirus fever is on higher side and you may devolpe shortness of breath. Sore throat maybe present in both cases. In coronavirus dry cough is present. However if your symptoms persist despite using your usual medications seek medical help.
