I have a cold/am sneezing a lot - that’s not a C-virus symptom, is it?

[mymoonmyman2020]

Woke up sneezing my head off, stuffy head, mild sore throat. No cough or fever. I won’t be going out anywhere (haven’t for days), but just to check, these are NOT coronavirus symptoms, are they? I know no one can say for sure, etc, but typically, there’s no sneezing with coronavirus I think I’ve read? Feeling a bit unsure now!

From what I've heard, sneezing and a runny nose is not a symptom. You probably just have a cold.

Thanks Mabel. Trying to stay calm and not worry about every ‘symptom’...

I was wondering the same thing. My OH has had cold symptoms for 2 days but has been self isolating for 10 days and I thought the incubation period for a cold is only 3 days whereas the timescale fits with the longer incubation period for covid.

Is there anyone who has had covid 19 that can describe their initial symptoms?

Following. I had a slight temperature and what I thought was a cold. I’m now a week into it and it’s still there. Im isolating anyway.

DH is a paramedic and says a runny nose can absoloutely be a symptom in about 20% of cases hes been to.
