Guide on Monkeypox Symptoms Infected People May Experience
MONKEYPOX SYMPTOMS – Here is a guide on the usual signs that a person infected with monkeypox may experience.
Most countries have yet to fully recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. This disease cost millions of lives across the globe, pulled the economies of several nations down, and brought massive changes in the people’s way of living.
The pandemic is going on for more than two (2) years now. Several nations eased their restrictions following the drop in the COVID-19 cases. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the pandemic is “nowhere near over”. Prior to it, the WHO stressed that the pandemic is not over anywhere if it is not over everywhere.
Unfortunately, amid the ongoing fight against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new disease is taking its toll in other countries. It is the monkeypox disease.
The monkeypox disease, a rare health condition caused by infection, is endemic in several nations including those in West Africa. However, the WHO was alarmed when countries, where the disease is not endemic, started recording cases of the infection.
The monkeypox symptoms are common. Based on an article on CDC, the signs are similar to the symptoms of smallpox but they are milder.
Monkeypox Symptoms:
- Fever
- Headache
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Chills
- Muscle aches and backache
- Exhaustion
- Rash that looks like pimples or blisters
Based on the article, the rash will go through different stages before it will heal. Monkeypox can take two (2) to four (4) weeks before healing. In some cases, the patient will experience rash first before the other signs. In other cases, there is only rash alone.
Recently, there is an update that the WHO monkeypox experts committee will convene for the 2nd time to discuss the increasing cases of the disease in several countries.
