Russia (bbabo.net), - Deputy Director of the Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology (Rospotrebnadzor) Tatyana Ruzhentsova spoke about the symptoms of fluron - simultaneous infection with influenza and coronavirus. According to her, it is not easy to do this without laboratory tests, RIA Novosti reports.

As Ruzhentsova explained, with flu, symptoms (high fever, aches and headaches) usually appear very quickly, and with COVID-19, the opposite.

"If after a certain period of time loss of smell joins, taste sensations change, then the probability of a combined infection is high," the expert said.

However, according to the doctor, symptoms can occur at the same time - if a person becomes infected with the flu during the incubation period of the coronavirus.

As for treatment, it should be started as soon as possible and only with a doctor, says Ruzhentsova. At the same time, the doctor is sure that in most cases no additional drugs will be required, since the antiviral drugs used for covid work against both viruses.
