Do you think this is a cold or something else?

On Sunday I mostly felt ok but had a sudden tummy ache and then diarrhoea. I didn’t think much of it. After that mostly felt ok, but then developed a sore throat in the evening, followed by a cough

On Monday the cough and sore throat got worse, plus headaches that wouldn’t go even with paracetamol. Extreme tiredness, and went to bed at 6pm.

Then last night I had a fever, sweating through my PJs while shivering and feeling cold at the same time. I kept feeling like I was going to vomit but didn’t, just deep chesty coughs that hurt my lungs.

I had to take the day off, spent the day in bed, and still feel hot, cough remains but feel slightly better on the headache front.

I thought it was just a cold but not sure now. Does anyone have any thoughts on what it is?

Covid? Lots of people have a funny tummy with Covid.
