A number of core members of the Taiwan Epidemic Epidemic Command Center have tested positive. The command center revealed that he had a fever for 3 days, still had symptoms such as coughing, coughing to the bone and headache, and had been taking an oral antiviral drug from Merck (Monapilavir).
Li Bingying, an expert on the island’s epidemic prevention, kept silent about Chen Shizhong’s condition in an exclusive interview with the media Zhou Yukou’s radio program “News Firecrackers” today. , but still reminded that “it is not completely out of danger”, the severe new crown mostly occurs one week after the onset of the disease, and the fever still cannot be taken lightly.
Li Bingying said that currently the command center is holding video conferences. He did not call Chen Shizhong in particular, but everyone would care about each other. Severe cases of COVID-19 appear on average a week later.
Li Bingying reminded the confirmed people that “even if the fever has subsided or the symptoms have been relieved after the onset, it is not completely out of danger.” However, now because of taking antiviral oral drugs, the chance should have been reduced to very low.
Li Bingying analyzed that Pfizer’s oral antiviral drug (Belavir) has good effect and is usually used first, but there are quite a few drugs with interactive effects. If the patient is taking some chronic disease drugs such as hyperlipidemia and cannot temporarily stop the original drug, he has to switch to Merck’s oral antiviral drug (monapilavir).
As for how to prevent severe diseases such as encephalitis in children? Li Bingying said that the best way is to get vaccinated and avoid infection. Once infected, it is difficult to have a good preventive method. Because whether the virus invades the brain is also related to the individual’s constitution, children’s nervous systems are not fully developed, and the risk of encephalitis is higher than that of adults. There is no specific medicine for encephalitis to end the course of the disease immediately, only symptoms can be treated. Cerebral edema can be eliminated by edema, cerebral pressure can be lowered by high cerebral pressure, and breathing difficulties can be used to help. (Xue Yang/Editor)
