more and more evidence that adolescents may experience heavy consequences of coronavirus – the so-called “long carid”. It can manifest itself in skin irritations, pain in the nerve endings, spasms in the chest and strong fatigue. It is reported by the Russian BBC service.
At first, these manifestations among young people were not associated with COVID-19, because according to statistics, children and adolescents are rarely infected with coronavirus and most often tolerate it in a slight form. But now in some countries, in particular, in the UK, special assistance services are created in the fight against protracted symptoms.
in Britain to work such services (including units for adults) 100 million pounds sterling were allocated.
Often the symptoms of “Long Kovida” continue for many months. The 16-year-old Briton Liliana Jackson told BBC, which used to led an active lifestyle, was engaged in sports, but for 10 months already suffered from the consequences of infection last year in September. And at some moments it seemed to her that she was dying.
Doctors call for those who had to leave the smallest deviations from the normal state without attention in the hope that the young organism will cope. Doctors are convinced that such situations should be closely observed by experts.
