โ€œRazor blade throatโ€ is a term used in China to describe severe throat pain, akin to swallowing shattered glass or razor blades.

China is experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19, with patients reporting symptoms of severe, burning throat pain, experts say.

Zhong Nanshan, one of Chinaโ€™s leading pulmonologists and epidemiologists, said in an interview with China-based media on May 19 that the โ€œrazor blade throatโ€ symptom is more pronounced in this wave of resurgence, accompanied by more frequent coughing.

โ€œRazor blade throatโ€ is a term used in China to describe severe throat pain, akin to swallowing shattered glass or razor blades.

Dr. Li Tongzeng, director of the Infectious Diseases Department at Beijing Youโ€™an Hospital, told Chinese media that the new wave of COVID-19, which began in March, is expected to peak in late May.

According to Zhong, the dominant strain in this wave is the Omicron XDV variant, which is highly transmissible but relatively less virulent. Early symptoms include fever, headaches, fatigue, a burning throat, and severe coughing.

He believes the epidemic is still in the โ€œclimbing phaseโ€ and is expected to last six to eight weeks and subside by the end of June.

Chinese netizens described their painful experiences with this new strain on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform closely monitored by the Chinese regime.

Netizens shared comments such as: โ€œDuring lunch time a few days ago, a colleague was coughing so wildly I thought she choked on food. She said it was a lingering effect from this COVID wave. When I asked about her main symptom, she said โ€˜razor blade throat.โ€™โ€

Other comments include, โ€œIโ€™ve been hit with razor blade throat and feel completely drained.โ€

โ€œPost-COVID razor blade throat is brutalโ€”swollen, painful, and I can barely speak. Any quick remedies?โ€ another one read.

A female Beijing resident, infected for nearly 10 days, told the Chinese language edition of The Epoch Times: โ€œI had a fever, sore throat, yellow phlegm with blood streaks, nosebleeds, cough, sneezing, a runny nose, dizziness, and no energy. Itโ€™s terrifyingโ€”I sneezed once and my nose started bleeding, which scared me to death. This round of COVID is too severe.โ€
