Post Covid Infections Increase In Number In Hyderabad

Coronavirus problems does not get over even after proper treatment. There are post COVID symptoms that remains and experienced by a majority of patients. These include neurological problems, heart issues and difficulty in breathing.

In Hyderabad, there are around 300 post Covid cases currently under treatment at the state-run Gandhi Hospital. However, a certain portion of patients are home quarantine themselves and put on prescribed medications.

While patients coming to hospitals are largely coming at later stages with complications. This is Unlike the initial days of the pandemic during which everyone was rushing to the hospital, now most of the cases are coming late.

Patients coming with symptoms like paralysis, heart attacks and dialysis require proper attention and care. Patients experiencing these problems should be closely monitored till they better as before.

The main reason for these post-Covid complications seen within 15 days of the infection is that the COVID-19 virus in our body causes clotting of the blood vessels and its impact depends on the location of the clots.

“Maximum damage that has to happen in a patient happens during this period itself. This is why it is important to initiate steroid treatment, anti-coagulants, blood thinners and anti-platelets early on,” said Dr M Raja Rao, superintendent Gandhi Hospital.
