Understanding COVID-19 Symptoms and Severity

COVID-19 affects people differently; most experience mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization. Less common symptoms include sore throat, headache, aches, diarrhea, rash, skin discoloration, or irritated eyes. Healthy individuals with mild symptoms should manage them at home. Symptoms typically appear 5-6 days after infection but can take up to 14 days. Elevated levels of certain proteins (interleukin 1B, interferon-gamma, interferon-inducible protein 10, and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1) are linked to COVID-19 severity. Pregnancy complications can arise due to increased coagulation factors during pregnancy interacting with SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID-19 infection may worsen pregnancy outcomes. A "cytokine storm," a serious complication in severe cases, can be treated with various strategies.
