Even in terms of the affected organs, this medical condition is characterised by its diversity: From the lungs, to the heart, and on to the brain \u2013 long- and post-COVID can affect multiple parts of the body simultaneously. Treatment must be designed to be accordingly flexible \u2013 and it must be adapted to the possibly changing symptoms.<\/p>\n In terms of the primary symptom of fatigue<\/strong>, which affects both the body and the psyche to a large extent, a combination of light strength and endurance exercises<\/strong> is currently considered as a therapeutic approach. Overexertion should be avoided in every case. Thus, therapy should always be conducted in consultation with a doctor. The scope and intensity should only be increased very slowly. Patience and time are requirements for this therapy. According to studies, the basic symptoms improve gradually after 3-6 months, especially as pertains to shortness of breath.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ background_color=”rgba(22,65,148,0.1)” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|2em|true|false” border_width_left=”4px” border_color_left=”#164194″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]Aside from the physical strength and endurance exercises, there are also respiration-based training and therapy devices that aim for strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles. However, this type of training is often very strenuous. When combining respiratory training and respiratory therapy with oscillations, meditative tones are generated during the inhalation and exhalation. These provide feedback during use and have a calming and soothing effect.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.cegla.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Anzeige-RC-FIT_1200x680_Meer_en-1.jpg” title_text=”Anzeige-RC-FIT_1200x680_Meer_en” url=”https:\/\/amzn.to\/3DQpbzH” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2em||2em||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n As early as during the acute phase of the coronavirus, affected persons often feel abruptly tired and defeated. A high fever and dry cough also appear quickly. Viruses are the reason. Due to their fast propagation, the respiratory organs are first impacted<\/strong> as viruses normally arrive in our bodies through the respiration. Especially with Omicron variants, infections of the upper respiratory tract<\/strong> (nasopharyngeal infections) also occur frequently. The obstruction of the airways with mucous<\/strong> and the thus-resulting tension headache<\/strong> are often depicted under this variant as being unbearable. Even medication intended for migraines is unable to provide help. In this case, a treatment option is oscillating respiratory therapy devices, especially for the upper respiratory tract, such as the RC-Cornet PLUS\u00ae NASAL<\/a>. These are able to release stubborn phlegm. The tension headache is eased. In addition, these are able to moisten the airways via inhalation and thus support recovery.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.cegla.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/acute-covid-post-acute-covid-progression.jpg” alt=”Progression of a COVID-19 infection” show_in_lightbox=”on” src_tablet=”https:\/\/www.cegla.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/acute-covid-post-acute-covid-progression.jpg” src_phone=”https:\/\/www.cegla.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/acute-covid-post-acute-covid-progression.jpg” src_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Progression of a COVID-19 infection (Source nocovid_pcs.pdf (nocovid-europe.eu)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It is not only the upper airways<\/strong> that are severely attacked by the virus during this time. The lower airways<\/strong>, our lungs themselves, are in part heavily compromised by the disease. Known effects:\u00a0lung function worsens<\/strong>.\u00a0This manifests in patients through shortness of breath or even dyspnoea on exertion or via pulse oximeter, often also through a reduced oxygen saturation, even while at rest. Many patients, especially those of advanced age, must go to hospital.<\/p>\n According to current S1 guidelines, the first step for patients requiring intensive care consists of ventilation or oxygen supplementation if appropriate.5 Such a guideline is developed by an expert committee in collaboration with other professional societies and organisations, in order to derive common treatment recommendations. A delimitation to an S2 or S3 guideline occurs when consensus is found in a rather informal procedure<\/strong>, possibly because a new illness has arisen and a systematically-developed approach to therapy does not yet exist.<\/p>\n Here, patients are given support for strengthening of the respiratory muscles and for a clearing of the airways through a targeted combination of exercises and therapy<\/strong>, while still in hospital.

While 35 % of participants reported having trouble with expectoration at the start of the study, it was possible to reduce this value to 5 %.
