For a small number of patients, especially those with underlying respiratory diseases or the elderly, if no timely targeted treatment is given after the new coronavirus infection, it is easy to cause pulmonary symptoms and severe clinical manifestations. At this time, It may cause some damage to the body. After clinical treatment, the virus has been cleared from the body, and the nucleic acid or antigen test has turned negative. However, the damaged parts have not fully recovered, the body has not recovered, and cold symptoms such as coughing will still occur. Strengthening daily protection and active exercise will help gradually alleviate symptoms, so there is no need to worry too much.

There are also a small number of patients who have recovered from the new coronavirus infection, but their own immunity has not been restored and they are easily affected by external environment, climate and other factors, such as cold air stimulation or respiratory system in autumn and winter. Being invaded by bacteria or viruses may cause bronchitis and other diseases, and may also manifest as cold symptoms such as cough and sore throat. If you go for a nucleic acid or antigen test, the result will be negative but the patient still has cold symptoms.

At this time, it is necessary to treat the cold. Follow the doctor's instructions and use drugs such as Ganmao Ling and Compound Paracetamol, and you can gradually recover in about a week.

“During the anti-epidemic phase in Wuhan, we found that some people infected with COVID-19 still have some symptoms after recovery. However, as the pathogenicity of the virus weakens, people infected with Omicron still have symptoms after their nucleic acid turns negative. The probability of occurrence is lower, the symptoms are milder, and it is easier to recover. "Zhang Boli said that the diagnosis and treatment experience in the past three years has shown that the use of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage and traditional exercises can promote patients' recovery and improve fatigue and shortness of breath. and other symptoms.

Taking active intervention measures can promote the recovery of the healer's body and mind to a better state. For those who have recovered and still have mild symptoms, Zhang Boli suggested that their body temperature should remain normal 2 days after the nucleic acid turns negative, and the other symptoms should be significantly relieved before they can resume work and study. Elderly patients and patients with underlying diseases can rest for a few more days. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can also choose some targeted Chinese patent medicines. For infected people who have no obvious symptoms and have just recovered, Zhang Boli also reminded that traditional Chinese medicine talks about "preventing recurrence after the disease", which means that when the disease has just been cured, the righteousness in the body is still relatively weak and the body functions have not been fully recovered. . At this time, we should also pay attention to post-disease conditioning, on the one hand to consolidate the curative effect, and on the other hand to prevent the recurrence of the disease.
