The Reality of Long Colds: Similar to Long COVID

A survey of over 10,000 people published in The Lancet's EClinicalMedicine journal found that both COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses can cause lingering symptoms similar to long COVID. While symptoms such as fatigue, cough, and shortness of breath were common in both groups, people with long COVID were more likely to experience more severe complications. The study suggests that inflammation from the initial infection may contribute to these lingering symptoms. However, experts caution against comparing "long cold" to long COVID, as the severity and impact on daily life differ. Treatment for lingering cold symptoms includes rest, hydration, and gentle exercise, and individuals should seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or persist for an extended period.

"Study reveals the prevalence and lasting effects of 'long colds' similar to long Covid"

A study from Queen Mary University of London suggests that some individuals may experience "long colds," similar to the pattern seen in long COVID, where they continue to have long-term symptoms following common colds, flu, pneumonia, or other respiratory illnesses. The study found that even those who tested negative for COVID-19 could still experience symptoms such as coughing, stomach pain, and diarrhea at least 4 weeks after infection. People with long COVID or long colds were more likely to report ongoing problems with taste or smell, lightheadedness, or dizziness. The research highlights the importance of understanding the long-term effects of respiratory infections to provide appropriate treatment and care.

Study Reveals the Existence of 'Long Colds' with Lasting Effects, Similar to 'Long Covid'

A study conducted by Queen Mary University of London suggests that symptoms of a cold can persist beyond the initial period of illness, similar to the concept of "long Covid." The research, published in The Lancet, found that non-Covid respiratory infections may have long-lasting health impacts, although it remains unclear if the symptoms of "long colds" would last as long as those of "long Covid." The study highlights the need for better recognition and diagnosis of post-acute infection syndromes, as they often go undiagnosed due to a wide range of symptoms and lack of diagnostic tests.
