Is coughing still a main symptom of omicron?

[SpongeCake23]

My 3 year old has woken up with a cough tonight, no other symptoms that I can see or hear so far. No temperature.
I guess I need to try and get a test for him? I haven’t heard of a cough being a main symptom of the new variant, anecdotally I mean.

We barely had a cough last time but this time have had very dry coughs.

For us all 5 of us had headaches, tiredness and sore throats as the first symptoms closely followed by runny nose. The adults have also been achey and coughing quite a bit but that started later. I'm coughing quite a lot but am asthmatic which doesnt help. Fairly sure we have Omicron due to it being so prevalent and spread from eldest child to all 5 of us within 3 days! Fast.

Yes, to add headaches, tiredness, and sore throat did occur for us first and then cough maybe 2nd day. We caught it from our friends - we had symptoms within 2.5 - 3 days - so yes, very quick for us too!

Yes dry cough was one of the first symptoms, not persistent though…headache and aching bones. Also sore lower back strangely.

Yes he either needs a PCR or to isolate for 10 days. It’s a pretty shit choice but it’s what we need to do.

No cough for me, just very runny nose, fatigue, aches and chills. I think the problem is it presents a bit differently in different people. Schools still definitely look out for coughs, probably still worth testing just in case.

My family have it at the moment and were all presenting very differently. Not sure if weve got Delta or Omicron.

I've had an awful persistent dry cough for a few days which has left me so so sore! I had fever for a couple of days and now on day 4 I have a sore throat and blocked nose.

MIL - severe body aches, hot flushes, headache, milk cough

SIL - headache lasting three days, sleeping 20hrs a day, full of cold.

Yes… I tried to speak to my best friend for NY and she could barely talk for coughing. Poor thing is exhausted. That is pretty much the only symptom. That and a sore throat as a result of coughing.

I would be waiting until morning and see if he's still coughing? My daughter occasionally wakes up coughing in the night but it doesn't last until morning.

Check your guidance for your local area as you don't say where you live. Under fives in NI for example no longer require a PCR for symptoms, just a LFT (then PCR if LFT+) (weird, I know!).

Yes, cough was my DD's first symptom just over a week ago. Followed by a sinusy headache.
