Recent covid diagnosis

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi, so my 8yr old daughter tested positive on Thursday after experiencing stomach cramps and diarrhoea.

I then started with a runny nose and sneezing Thursday afternoon. By Friday night, after having a PCR test, id lost my taste and smell.

My PCR was positive along with my son who has no symptoms at all.

Anyways ive now developed the awful headache and have a pain in my chest.

I know everyone is different but anyone else have the same and can tell me how long theres lasted for? Or whether it gets worse before it gets better.

Im not going to lie Im extremely anxious about it all

    yes it’s true, everyone does react differently. My sister had it and she is in her 50s and hers lasted around a couple weeks. She was fine. Just had a little cough and felt tired. Are you having any shortness of breath?

    If so, let your doctor know just to be on the safe side. is the pain in your chest severe, moderate or mild?

    make sure you are staying hydrated with water. Any fever? Keep tabs on your symptoms and gets lots of rest.

    take care of yourself ❤

    Hi,

    Ive also got a awful headache, it makes my eyeballs hurt if that makes sense. Ive got sinus pain and my glands are swollen. Ive been taking paracetamol and drinking lots of water. My chest keeps going tight but ive got a Oximeter, so im checking my oxygen levels and thats reducing my anxiety for now. Ive lost my taste and smell - my daughter is a few days behind me, im worrying about her.
