Based on the currently published information, COVID-19 causes phlegm. It is just a matter of more phlegm and less phlegm. Judging from the current medical environment, patients with a lot of phlegm are easy to cure, but severe cases with less phlegm are more difficult to treat. You can look at the specific data of this pneumonia to understand the entire new coronavirus situation.

1. Regarding the symptoms of COVID-19 infection.

(1) Respiratory system infection. The main symptoms are similar to those of a cold, including cough, runny nose, headache, sore throat, fever, etc. The cause of these symptoms is lung infection, and its symptoms are manifested in the human body:

① Coughing is caused by discomfort in the lungs and imbalance of internal and external pressure, which causes the body’s natural The detoxification reaction should be coughing, because the sputum produced by some viral infections will be expelled from the body through coughing, which is the initial detoxification reaction of lung diseases.

② The cause of runny nose is that the lungs produce mucus after viral infection, and part of this mucus is excreted through the respiratory tract. The symptom is runny nose, and some people will This kind of body fluid infection is because the body fluid itself is virus-carrying body fluid.

③ In fact, the headache is not caused by the head, but by the comprehensive reaction of the lungs and trachea. Swimmers will find that a brief headache will occur after choking on water. According to the functions of the human body, Generally speaking, there is mucus inside the new type of pneumonia. When some people's bodies repair themselves, this part will be discharged from the trachea but then flow back, which will cause headaches, and this kind of headache does not happen instantly. So people may think that this is a persistent symptom, but in fact, the body function is similar to choking on water.

④ The symptoms of sore throat come from tonsillitis. Tonsils are lymphocytes. After a disease occurs in the body, lymphocytes will begin to phagocytose the virus particles. This part of the phagocytosis will not show up in ordinary minor illnesses and pains, but when there are larger lesions, it will Symptoms will occur. The principle is that lymphocytes fight viruses, and there are more and more viruses. Lymphocytes are in urgent need of support, and they will send signals to other parts of the body, so they will have a sore throat, and some people will also have pain in their armpits. , the same lymphocytes are fighting.

⑤ Fever is fever. When our lymphocytes cannot defeat the virus, our white blood cells will begin to support it. When the number of white blood cells increases, fever will occur, and the activity of the virus will be weaker at high temperatures. , and a joke emerged? Viruses cannot live long above 40 degrees, but humans cannot live long above 40 degrees either.

(2) Intestinal and nerve infections. Mainly occurs in infants and young children. The specific principles are:

①Intestinal infection. The body functions of infants and young children are not as perfect as those of adults. Regarding the virus, most of the detoxification manifestations in infants and young children are in the form of diarrhea. Therefore, the new coronavirus pneumonia will cause diarrhea and loose stools in infants and young children. This kind of discharged Feces also carries viruses, so if you take care of an infant or young child without protection, the chance of infection will be higher.

② There are not many nervous system infections in the current data, so its principle is not yet clear.

2. Regarding the phlegm of COVID-19.

Liu Liang, who presided over the autopsy work of deceased patients with COVID-19, said in an interview with the media that during the autopsy, mucus secretions were found on the lung sections of the deceased, and this secretion was phlegm.

I believe everyone who has watched Liu Liang’s press conference knows that what Liu Liang emphasized is that the lungs of the remains of patients with new coronary pneumonia contain most of the mucus, and if this mucus cannot be discharged, it will lead to The patient may have difficulty breathing, which may lead to death in severe cases, but these are ignored until the autopsy report comes out.

Some patients with excessive phlegm will discharge mucus in the form of phlegm through their own body functions. Under the dual action of drugs, they systematically detoxify non-coronavirus, and these discharged Mucus is the most contagious, but as long as it is discharged, it is a good sign for the patient's recovery.

For patients with less phlegm, it is not because there is no phlegm, but because mucus exists in the lungs and cannot come out. If it cannot come out, severe symptoms will occur. At this time, if the phlegm and mucus cannot be effectively cleared, his rescue will be even more difficult. Before this, our medical care methods had the greatest difficulty in clearing phlegm. This is one of the reasons why some patients do not survive.

Of course, now that Professor Liu Liang’s anatomy work has pointed out this reason, more and more of our new coronavirus patients have been cured, and more and more people have been discharged from the hospital with severe illness. I believe that in the near future , the epidemic will end.
