A Sore Throat Is The Most Prevalent Sign Of Omicron

The Zoe COVID Symptom Study just concluded that sore throat would be the most prevalent complaint for Omicron patients.

The British experiment tracks how those with Coronavirus display symptomps, and by December, 57% of those with Omicron had a sore throat. Temperature, coughing, and loss of taste or smell were the most common symptoms of this variety.

The research notes that loss of smell or taste has declined in frequency, from 10th in beginning 2021 to 17th presently, impacting one in five cases.

Despite the fact that many people mistake micron for a flu, the variant may still put people into hospital, create long-term effects or even lead to death. Omicron is also more contagious than Delta, thus it may spread quicker.

“It’s important to know and recognize all the symptoms of Omicron. Sore throat, runny nose, headache and fatigue can indicate covid-19. If you have any symptoms, get tested and isolate until you get the result. propagation”, explained scientists.

How to handle a sore throat

When you have a sore throat, doctors usually recommend avoiding acidic or spicy foods because they can cause additional irritation. Dairy products may also aggravate a sore throat. Drink fluids to soothe your throat. Hot and cold drinks offer temporary relief from a sore throat. Sip on hot liquids, like tea or broth, or drink cool liquids, like water or fruit juice. Avoid very hot or very cold drinks — they can make your throat hurt more. If you prefer carbonated beverages, choose seltzer water or club soda, which may soothe your throat as well.

If you have a fever, doctors usually recommend drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Liquids are easy on your stomach and throat when they’re cold (which makes them feel better), so try sipping on some iced tea or apple juice if those options work for your sore throat.
