Corona symptoms that are NOT fever and dry cough?

[cornishdreams1]

I travelled to the Middle East in early February, when we came back both my dd and I came down with the same bug. We had the most god awful taste in our mouths, neither of could not taste anything at all, we both felt sick.
We had D&V for one day and one night, and stomach cramps for over a week. For two nights were not feverish, but sweating as you may do with normal D&V and my dh described us both as very rosy looking. I had a sore throat on and off and my glands are up for three weeks. My dd completely recovered and did so within the first week. My symptoms are persisting on and off but I feel better. The one thing I have had is very red eyes, not sore or infected but just really red raw. I used eye drops to alleviate it.

This morning I read in the Sunday papers that these are symptoms of Coronavirus in younger people. I am shocked. I had no idea at all, and have been carrying on as normal up until the lockdown. I could have infected numerous people, at no point until I read this article did I think this may be coronavirus, and if this is the case, there may be many many more people working and shopping/caring for the elderly/nursing as normal with some of these symptoms.

Have you heard anything about this?

This needs to be publicised as most people with stomach cramps or sore eyes would not consider CV.

Cornish the answer may well simply lie in the number of negative tests we've had. There's 2 nasty bugs. That's why people think they had it before and over Xmas?
It may be linked to the fact we had a very wet winter?
The same as the coldest winter 2017-18 increased the number of flu deaths by an excess 50,000 over that period.
The ONS data for deaths year on year, especially respiratory shows an interesting pattern.

But yes, the antibody test will be interesting and tell us most - I think - right now.

@cornishdreams1 that would be great! I now realise my 14 year old son may have had it. I previously dismissed it as a bad cold which he suffers from a lot. Here's a summary..

Myself

Tues/Weds - very dry eyes (not red)

Thursday - very occasional dry cough

From Friday - headache and sore throat, tight feeling in chest, get breathless walking upstairs (generally not unfit). Felt the need to burp frequently (really weird!)

Sunday - massive headache, no energy, a bit feverish but no real high temp. Spent most of the day in bed.

Today - feel surprisingly okay, just a fuzzy head and dry cough. Thinking it might be the calm before the storm!

My son started feeling unwell just over two weeks ago. Headache, sore throat, bad cough (but unlike me he often gets a bad cough with colds). He complained about being hot and cold. Took his temp but 36.3 which I read was normal. He's complained of feeling dizzy quite often and the cough has been really bad. Just today the cough has become productive rather than dry. He's not been ill in bed but has needed constant attention for the whole two weeks (he has ASD and is difficult when poorly). Oh, and loss of appetite. He normally never stops asking for food so a big surprise!

No idea if this is Covid19, a different virus or just a really weird bad cold. I hope this helps though

Forgot to mention I've had stomach cramps and my 12 year old has either not had it at all or had it very mildly (ill for a couple of days with headache, feeling generally unwell and nausea, but no cough at all)

It’s impossible to know without tests so recording symptoms isn’t waste of time surely on that app?

Anyway, we think our DD had it (and that I do now). She is generally healthy with few fevers. Woke up tired and pale and then rapidly said “I can’t breathe properly”. Then a high fever that came and went for three days. Mainly at night. Sore throat. Sore back.

Our family have also had similar symptoms started with the kids vomiting, thought a sickness bug, then my youngest had very red eyes and eldest complaining of eyes hurting and seeing double, then I had nausea and sickness,aches in legs arms and back, no temperatures or coughs though and seems to be passing quickly

Oh and my eldest is complaining of everything tasting like strawberries, even his favourites hes hardly eaten as says they taste funny but is probably the taste in his mouth as taste fine to the rest of us

My 16 year old dd started coughing last Tuesday. I can count on less then two hands how many times she has coughed since whereas I've been coughing for about two weeks and have been in bed since Wednesday. I manage a few minutes on here, or walk to the loo and then I have to lie down for a while. A few days ago I was doing puzzles, drawing. Now, nothing much at all.

Is it I burped a lot during day 3-6! Was eating antacids like sweets!

My brother in New York has said diarrhoea in children was a symptom of covid he'd come across (not a medic, just cases in his social circle)

DD had stomach cramps and nausea. Next day DS came down with a mild cough, followed by a week of him feeling rotten with a bad cough and temperature spikes.

Husband and I had itchy eyes and tight chests in the evening, but we thought it could be anxiety due to there being a global pandemic!

12 days later, both kids are fine, but I now have a very swollen lymph node. We've isolated throughout- just wish I knew if we'd had it.

I just had a look at a symptom checker here in Finland and it lists the following
Cough
Breathing difficulties
Throat pain
Headache
Body aches
Diarrhoea or vomiting

It doesn't actually list fever until later on in the checker. I filled it in with my current symptoms which don't include cough or fever and it says it could be corona so it doesn't seem to require cough or fever.

My closest colleague has been floored by Coronavirus this last week so fully expecting to get it. My symptoms have been:
Bad fatigue (2 naps a day)
Sore throat
Headache
Dizzy
Back pain
Stomach ache
Awful taste in my mouth - chewing gum none stop to help!
Stinging eyes like I’m really, really tired
Ever so slight burning in chest
More difficult to breathe when lying down.

Who knows?

I don't know why the government aren't mentioning stomach problems more:

@Bubblebu I have all of your symptoms - I’m now on day 40 of this virus. Days are better but night time the temp comes back and also heart palpitations. My temp goes up and down all day long. How are you feeling now?
