After contracting COVID-19 people experience both physical and psychological effects. Doctors are now working on a multifaceted approach to treat the long term effects of COVID-19.
Currently there is no formal diagnosis of long COVID because symptoms are variable, ranging and associated with varying degrees of autonomic dysfunction. Thus there is limited evidence on how to treat common COVID-19 symptoms.
Management of persistent symptoms require multidisciplinary input and primary care. Patients need to be “heard” and taken serious with physical and psychological symptoms from COVID-19. Also a medical review and referral is needed for continued support to get the specialized treatment that is needed for these long-term effects of COVID-19.
