As the new coronavirus infection spreads, the season for hay fever is approaching, and the otolaryngology society says that it is difficult to tell whether or not you have been infected with the Omicron strain if you have symptoms of hay fever. I am calling for an early consultation.
This call was posted on the website by the Japanese Society of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, which is made by doctors of otolaryngology.
According to it, it is reported that the symptoms of infection with the new corona Omicron strain are 73% for runny nose, 60% for sneezing, and half of the people feel tired, which is common with the symptoms of hay fever. Therefore, if you have symptoms of hay fever, it will be difficult to tell if you are infected with the Omicron strain.
In addition to pollinosis, if you are infected with the new corona, you may spread the infection by sneezing, and even if you are not infected, if you rub your eyes or nose with your hands with the virus, there is a risk of infection. is.
For this reason, the academic society wants you to see a medical institution as soon as possible before pollinosis becomes full-scale.
Dr. Yurika Kimura, who is in charge of the countermeasure team for the new corona at the academic society, said, "In some cases, I was infected with corona when I thought it was hay fever. If I treat hay fever early, the symptoms at the peak can be suppressed, so it is early. I want you to consult with me. "
