Persistent runny nose day 9-10 covid

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've had covid for I believe 9-10 days, possibly even longer as my ear pain/stuffiness began a few days prior to other symptoms. All of my worse symptoms like aches, chills, sore throat, swollen glands, etc. have subsided and for the last 2 days i've been left with a nose that is constantly running, with some sneezing. Is this normal on day 10? I thought for sure by now I'd be in the clear. I'm going to retest today so I can go to an event this weekend and I'm not confident that I'll be negative. Is it possible my symptoms could even continue to change/worsen more?

    I doubt that your symptoms will worsen. You’re probably at the end of Covid but now have the symptom of runny nose. Everybody is different. Just see what the test comes out to be. If it’s positive then you’ll have to just wait until it comes back negative. In the meantime, take care of yourself and drink plenty of water because it’s important to stay hydrated and water helps to flush out your system. Hang in there!
