Covid from holiday and vomiting!

Literally 24 hours of non-stop vomiting. Anyone else had this?
Just home from Spain and on coach transfer to hotel on arrival there was a lot of coughing, so likelihood is we picked it up there or flight.
All got it a few days later and took LFTs there as we were there to visit a relative who lives in Spain with health issues. Two of us had extreme vomiting with it. We've all had Covid once before but never vomiting. I've read it can be an unusual symptom but just wondering if anyone had vomiting too? It was awful! I'm now scared of catching it ever again as it was so grim.
Couldn't see relative after we had it and fortunately we weren't staying with them! Bit of a disaster really.
We were negative by flight home but literally every other passenger was coughing! Seemed rife.

When my children had Covid during the first year of the pandemic their main symptom was vomiting. Lots and lots of vomiting. Luckily only for a few days but it was grim. They also got blisters on their toes.

I think it's always been a symptom, it's just that there's so many possible symptoms not everyone gets all of them.

Yes me and my husband had this as our first symptom last year and it just happened to my dad too this week. Mum caught the same strain from my dad and has just had cold symptoms. It's wacky how it affects everyone so differently.

When I had it I was vomiting for 3 days, it was a mixture of feeling sick in my stomach and vomiting from that and from coughing so hard made me vomit. I also had diarrhoea and headaches, dizzyness, sore throat, awful sore chest when I was breathing in, breathless and body pains. The first 3 days were the worst and it started easing and it was around day 7 I felt much better.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks all. It's certainly weird how it affects everyone differently.
There's 4 of us and I assume we all had the same strain, and 2 of us vomiting and 2 not. My body was trying to vomit every 10 mins at one point but I hadn't eaten - couldn't even keep down a sip of water.
Worst is over thankfully!

We've just been away and been hit with vomiting bugs twice. My sister in UK also had it. I did actually say I wonder if this is a new covid thing.

My daughter has had Covid twice and had vomiting both times

We have just returned from holiday, vomiting and cold symptoms, tested positive for covid.

Littlecovid · 18/08/2023 08:40

I have covid at the moment. For the first 24 hours I assumed it was a regular vomiting bug.

Sorry to hear that others have had Covid too - everywhere I go people seem to be agreeing it's currently rife.
The vomiting seems more common now too. It was such different symptoms this time for me compared to my one previous time.

When my children had it they both were violently sick. This was a while ago, before they had rolled out vaccines to children. I wonder if this is more of a symptom for those whose vaccines have not been kept up (ie not in a risk category or below 50)

Possibly - I've not been vaccinated in a year. My children both had it pre vaccine though and weren't sick.

I have had covid twice - last May and again 3 weeks ago. Both times I could not stop being sick. I couldn't even keep a sip of water down but was bringing up bile every couple of hours. Both times the vomiting lasted 3 days

DH also had covid when I did and only had a cough and complained of being slightly achy.

DD aged 7 has had covid a few time and has never been vaccinated this week is the only time she has vomited with it.

It's odd isn't it! I had it last year - no vomiting, then got it this year and couldn't even keep down sips of water. I'm certain it was same variant as DH and DD neither of whom got vomiting, yet me and DS got vomiting. One illness yet v different experiences!
