New Delhi, (PTI) People may experience long-term symptoms — or ‘long colds’– after acute respiratory infections that test negative for COVID-19, according to a study published in The Lancet’s EClinicalMedicine journal.
Some of the most common symptoms of the ‘long cold’ included coughing, stomach pain, and diarrhea more than 4 weeks after the initial infection, the researchers said.
While the severity of an illness appears to be a key driver of risk of long-term symptoms, more research is being carried out to establish why some people suffer extended symptoms while others do not.
