What are the symptoms of omicron and when should you go to the hospital?

UMMC doctor explains

certainly, we don't want to discourage anybody from seeking emergency care when they feel like they need it. What we're seeing with a micron is, you know, relatively minor common symptoms. A little bit of a dry cough, some congestion, a little bit of runny nose, sore throat, Maybe some body aches, not a lot of fever, but maybe some fever. Now. I really encourage people to think about using the emergency department when they feel that something out of the ordinary than a normal kind of, you know, winter cold is occurring if you are having chest pain, if you are experiencing shortness of breath, um, if you have a fever that won't come down, if you, uh, you know, you, you pass out something that the, you know, a normal person would think, well, this is not what I've experienced in my lifetime with the cold, We need to see those people. Um, it makes it difficult for sometimes to wave through the people that maybe the emergency department is the easiest place to get a test because they can't find it or they don't want to necessarily stand in line for two or three hours. Um, you know, what we're encouraging people to do is if you have those symptoms and you can't find a test, Assume that you have it and isolate yourself for five days. Five days goes by a lot quicker than 10 half the number and that's the best part of valor. If you wait three days to find a test. Um, it maybe three days before your test is back and you could've, you could've had jailbreak by them. So I think just using some, applying some common principles like that will really help people know when they should and should not go to the emergency. But generally speaking both here and I think across the country and across the state, I wouldn't view the emergency department as the place to go to get tested if you don't have symptoms that are concerning. Um I wouldn't use it just as a testing center because the emergency departments are overwhelmed.

We need to see those people," Jones said. Dr. Catherine Phillippe, a pediatrician with TrustCare, said omicron symptoms are similar to the flu or the common cold. In the past few days, 30% to 40% of Phillippe's patients who have been tested at the first notice of symptoms tested negative for COVID-19. "People will come back on day two, three, or four and be positive," Phillippe said.She said that leaves a gap of a few days where other people could be exposed, which doesn't help slow the spread. Phillippe said getting tested twice never hurts if symptoms start to go south."I think coming soon to make sure it's not something else, like strep or the flu 바카라 게임 웹사이트 in an infant, RSV," she said.
