Oh hey, I have this right now, too, and more importantly, I’ve had this before, too. It sucks, but if it was COVID this time I assume I (and you) would not feel the exact same way we feel when we get bad sinus infections. I am taking a 24 hour non-drowsy antihistamine that is not working as well as I’d like, but I’m not going to the doctor for anything short of, idk, accidental amputation right now.

I hope you feel better soon!

COVID can and does often present with mild symptoms. Please isolate yourself and take precautions to prevent spread. COVID is still transmissible if you have mild symptoms or even if you are asymptomatic.

Specific mild symptoms, not just any mild medical symptoms. Not everything is Covid.

Nasal congestion is listed as a less common symptom in my country. As is rash, conjunctivitis, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite.

A high percentage of people testing positive are unaware that they have COVID.

To say that you conclusively don't have it if you don't have this or that symptom is not the best way to think about it.

AYRT—I know. I have had this exact same thing twice since our state went into lockdown, with no fever or other COVID symptoms, and several times over the last several years.

I have also possibly had COVID right after the shutdown went into effect, and since it was not possible to get tested then unless I was rich or maybe admitted to the ICU, I did actually stay home and not interact with anyone for two weeks.

It felt very different from how I do currently and involved fever and dizziness and a sharp stabbing sore throat. All the symptom lists said that sore throat was not a COVID symptom at the time, and coughing was. I coughed for maybe a couple hours one day and that was all, and my fever never broke 100, so at the time I thought I was being a hypochondriac by self isolating.

I would like to get tested with a reliable serum test, but since this was back in mid March, a test for current COVID would turn up negative if I did in fact have COVID then. Also I would have to take public transit to be tested.

Currently I only go out once a week for groceries and laundry, and to and from work, which has temperature and symptom checks and requires gloves and that we sanitize our work stations, toilet seats, faucets, etc every time we use them, in addition to the masks and social distancing that are required everywhere. If I have COVID symptoms or a fever when I’m supposed to go to work, I will stay home.

I have a huge problem with hypochondria and anxiety generally and being told that I might have a potentially deadly disease when my symptoms do not match does not help.
