Persistent residual effects after an acute respiratory viral infection, for example, in the form of cough and weakness, should be checked by specialists. As doctor Andrey Kondrakhin stated in an interview with Evening Moscow, some ailments as residual effects can be observed after viral diseases for up to two weeks.
If a person who has been ill feels unfavorable symptoms for a longer time, this should alert and force him to seek medical examination.
“Weakness, fatigue, coughing usually go away without a trace,” the doctor explained. “If after two weeks the symptoms persist, this may indicate that chronic diseases have manifested.”
According to him, one of the consequences of viral infections are disorders in the state of the thyroid gland. In the case of too long lasting weakness after ARVI, the presence of vitamin deficiency can be suspected. In addition, it can be a dangerous symptom of bronchitis, myocarditis, pneumonia, anemia, gastritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis – these pathologies can also occur or worsen after diseases from the SARS category.
Long-term residual effects may indicate an additional infection. Seeing a doctor will allow you to identify it and undergo the necessary therapy.
