Patient's question:
A few days ago, my neck and back felt a bit uncomfortable. The day before yesterday, it rained and I stayed outside for a long time. By the third day, my throat swelled and became painful. These past few days, I've been coughing constantly, feeling like I have phlegm that I can't cough up or swallow. For the past three days, my temperature has been between 36.8°C and 37.2°C. Now I feel like I have nasal mucus, but it's still not coming out. It's as if I'm short of breath and I keep hiccuping. I have gas in my stomach. I took Qingkailin granules, but besides Qingfei Tang, I feel very sad. Is it H7N9 avian flu?Doctor's answer:
At the onset of the illness, symptoms are similar to those of influenza, including fever, cough, and may be accompanied by headache, muscle aches, and general discomfort. Symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, and sore throat may also reappear. Severe pneumonia often occurs again within 5 to 7 days, with most patients maintaining a temperature above 39°C, difficulty breathing, and may also have bloody sputum. Under appropriate isolation conditions, symptomatic treatment, anti-infection, ensuring oxygen supply, and maintaining organ function are provided, with the main focus being on anti-infection and antiviral treatments.
