BA.2 Omicron Variant: The number of corona infected patients in the country may have reduced, but the war against corona virus is not over yet. As soon as the effect of Omicron diminished, its sub-variant BA.2 has started creating havoc in many countries. Many medical organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) have also issued a warning regarding this. This variant jams the throat instead of the lungs. Due to this, the windpipe and upper respiratory system are badly affected.
The sub-variant of Corona is made up of the BA.2 Omicron and Delta variants. It is believed to be more contagious than the earlier virus and spreads very rapidly. The prevalence of BA.2 is particularly high in the respiratory system. Its early symptoms are not related to the lungs. Two major features of the BA.2 variant have emerged. Including dizziness and fatigue. Both symptoms can appear within two to three days of being infected with Omicron+Delta BA.2 virus and can last longer in infected patients than before.
New symptom of sore throat
Researchers analyzed COVID-19 positive patients who had complaints related to ear, nose and throat. They found that most of these patients were suffering from pharyngitis. In this, the common symptoms of corona are different from sore throat. If you feel this symptom, you should immediately contact the doctor.
Other symptoms
Known as Stealth Omicron, BA.2 is affecting the gut rather than the nose. Due to which infected patients have many problems related to the digestive system. All this variant of corona virus is not catching even in RTPCR test. It is not necessary that it should be caught during the investigation. BA.2 can cause digestive problems like bloating-pain in the abdomen, body cramps, depression and diarrhoea-vomiting. Other symptoms of Omicron+Delta BA.2 variant include persistent fever, cough, sore throat, blood clots in the head, muscle and joint pain, high blood pressure.
