Nose burn!

I had my fist jab in January but still managed to contract Covid 2 weeks ago. Very mild symptoms, probably due to that vaccine thank heavens as I’m on the shielding list.

But I was curious, does anyone else have like a ‘burning’ sensation at the top of their nose??? It’s not painful as such but uncomfortable and truly irritating!

That'll be hayfever 👍🏻

Tree pollen hay fever?

I tested positive a fortnight ago. Very mild symptoms. My nose burned the day my sense of smell went and it burned yesterday when it came back

Try taking an antihistamine to see if it goes. Then you'll know whether it's hay fever or covid

Apparently the alder pollen is particularly bad this year

Yes I was complaining to my DH about this last night. I lost my sense of smell and though its coming back now can still feel a burn at the top of the nose. The virus inflames the receptors in the nose so makes complete sense.

Yes. I had this and then I lost my sense of smell. Luckily it came back after 4 or 5 days. 2 months on my nose still feels sensitive. Air feels much colder than it use to.

I'm the same Lindy, air feels colder, its hard to explain. I imagine its only people who lost their sense of smell that will experience this. Its definitely not pollen or hayfever

Mine is starting to flare up now - itchy eyes and throat and bunged up nose. It eases when I take antihistamines so I'm not worried it's anything else (and I get it this time of year every year anyway) but I'm still worrying what other people will think!
