A recent survey has revealed that individuals can experience persistent symptoms similar to those of a common cold, similar to the lingering effects of long COVID-19. The survey data indicates that while symptoms may be comparable in both groups, individuals with long COVID-19 are more prone to experiencing more severe health complications. Medical professionals emphasize that long COVID should not be confused with the so-called "long cold."

Long COVID has been a cause for concern for several years, leading many prominent medical institutions to establish specialized practices aimed at treating individuals who continue to experience ongoing or new symptoms following a COVID-19 infection. Recent research suggests that COVID-19 may not be the sole respiratory virus responsible for lingering symptoms, giving rise to the term "long cold."

A survey conducted among over 10,000 participants and published in The Lancet's EClinicalMedicine journal examined the symptoms reported by the survey participants. Each participant was asked about 16 different symptoms associated with long-term COVID-19, as well as whether they had previously contracted COVID-19, another respiratory virus, or neither.
