Omicron symptoms and remedies

[RevolvingPivot]

Hi I've heard this is spreading and I know I'm bound to catch it.

I'm really awful when I'll. I just can't cope. What are the symptoms and what can I get it to prepare myself.

I have autism and anxiety and 2 children x

Thank you

Treat it like a bad cold. So things like Lemsip.

Is it worse than the flu?

Some people don't know they have it, and some end up in hospital.
The vast majority of people with Covid will be able to treat it at home. Some might be bed ridden for a few days, and some might just have a snotty nose.
No one on MN can say how it will affect you. All you can do is take it as it comes. Get some Lemsip and Sudofed in just in case.

Thanks. When you say it like that it's a ridiculous think to ask.

get some anti sickness tablets.
I'm on day 10 and still can't eat or drink anything without feeling very sick..
I only had a cough for a day, the sickness is driving me crazy and I've lost weight and feel weak from not eating.

I have it right now. I tested positive on 27th and was feeling a bit odd before, and also had two LFT tests which were negative.

Anyway this is nothing like as awful as flu. It’s like a moderate cold. I’ve had two lots of paracetamol today and don’t need anything else. Please try not to worry. It’s no biggie, honest.

@Dogfacepacer did you order PCR saying you had the listed symptoms? I think I have got it (either that or a very bad cold), been testing daily on LFD but negative.

I had the worst sore throat ever and felt extremely tired, slept for around 20 hours a day the first couple days. I used Dentyl mouthwash to reduce viral load and kept dosing on Lemsip. I started to feel better after 4 days

I went to the drive through place nearby.

thanks, but did you have to book online - my symptoms are not loss of smell/taste or persistent cough, so not sure if I would be accepted.

Yes I booked online. I didn’t have the classic symptoms but I felt sick, coughed a little bit and was sneezing quite a bit. And felt dizzy. So I knew there was something but didn’t know what.

Hi just had my booster. Does anyone know how often we need to have them? Thanks.
