Therapist Vodovozov listed the symptoms uncharacteristic of the disease "omicron"

“He (omicron strain COVID-19. -

) practically does not get to the lungs, he stops in the bronchioles, that is, in the bronchial tree.

I would not say that bronchiolitis with “omicron” is much better than pneumonia with “delta”, but this is a milder disease, ”he said in an interview with Sputnik radio.

Loss of smell is also a rare symptom among those infected with the omicron, Vodovozov said.

“Often, by losing their sense of smell, people realized that they were sick and went to get tested.

With the “delta” this was already less common, and with the “omicron” the loss of smell is a rarity,” he concluded.

General practitioner Irina Dobretsova, in an interview with Newinform, urged those infected with coronavirus not to self-medicate, as this can lead to sad consequences for the body.
