Really dry inside nose - covid?

[udnertheradar]

Today I have the weirdest sensation inside my nose. It feels really dry and uncomfortable. Exactly like when you wake up on a plane after a long haul flight. When I googled it it comes up as an early symptom of covid. Has anyone else had this as a symptom of covid?

Could just as easily be caused by the cold air and mask wearing.

Thanks Bagelsandbrie. That's a good point

Yes. Oddly enough this is how my nose felt. I tested positive on a routine test the next day. 24 hours after that my sense of smell went.

Central heating causes this

Thanks Thismustbemydream. It's really noticeable. Test booked for tomorrow

This is exactly how I was too. Like I was trying to hold a sneeze in. Tested that day and returned positive.

This is what I have. Been hard to put finger on it but yes it's that discomfort like when trying to hold a sneeze in.

I'm on day 7 past positive test and it's one of the ongoing symptoms for me.

Thanks. Had never heard of it before

My partner has this and has just brought home a lateral flow test so we shall see

My nose has been like this for months. Do you have any problems with your eyes?

Yes it was one of my first symptoms, still have it now two weeks later. Strangest feeling. I described it to my son as a bit like the feeling when you snort swimming pool water up your nose! It’s a horrible feeling!

I get this from wearing a mask all day at work. My nasal membranes are bone dry

Enski76. Exactly!! Hahahahahaha

No problems with my eyes Canyons. And I don't wear a mask all day. So strange

Exactly how my nose felt when I had Covid. Felt like my nose had been stripped!

The feeling of my sinuses being washed out with neat chlorine came about a week in, I definitely had a very dry and sore nostrils on about day 2 or 3. Thing with Covid I found was that it was like Groundhog Day every day, but always slightly different.

I also had incredibly itchy palms from day 1 until about day 18. Even got tiny water blisters on them. They were horrid. Am on day 26 now and the last one dried up only a few days ago.

Well this isn't looking good is it? So weird that this isn't a commonly known symptom

I had this when I had covid- as well as loads of other weird symptoms - nose was so, so dry inside.

Had this loads. Tested negative twice. Don't assume ‘this isn’t looking good’ get internet confirmation bias. Getting a test is your only option.

Yes I have a test booked for tomorrow first thing

Definitely for toddler and I. He kept saying his nose was hurting. I knew what he meant because I had the same. I ordered a humidifier straight away.

Viruses can impact on the mucus producing cells.

You’ll only get confirmation once tested.
