Symptoms of the Omicron variant of the corona virus can appear differently in each person. One of the symptoms of Omicron can be seen when a person wakes up.
Doctor Robert Wachter from San Francisco, United States, recounted the experience of his son infected with Omicron experiencing symptoms such as not feeling well or having a fever when he woke up. “He woke up feeling bad,” he said, quoted by British media, Express.
Symptoms also include sore throat, dry cough, muscle aches, and chills.
Meanwhile, the less common symptom that Omicron Covid-19 patients complain about is bloating, reported by 14% of patients and belching symptoms experienced by 10% of patients. On the other hand, vomiting is a complaint of 9% of patients, while abdominal pain strikes 7% of those discharged from the hospital after recovering from Covid-19.
There are also other Covid-19 symptoms that patients complain the most, such as hoarseness, chills, dizziness, loss of appetite, to nausea and stomach acid.
According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a number of Omicron patients have also reported experiencing symptoms of diarrhea.
The NBC Chicago report says people with weakened immune systems are the most likely to experience diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, if you suddenly experience diarrhea, it can be a sign that someone has been exposed to Covid-19 Omicron.
However, it is important to remember that this diarrhea is not the only symptom of Omicron Covid-19. Generally these complaints are followed by fatigue, breathing problems, muscle and body aches and headaches or sore throats.
