Covid or Allergies? What's Happening to Your Body

Based on your symptoms, you might have Covid, or it might just be allergies! With cold and flu season still in full swing and the spring allergy season starting up (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway), there are plenty of other things out there that could potentially explain your symptoms! Learn about these differences and when to call a doctor in this new episode of SciShow!

    I feel that. I went to the E.R. earlier this week cause I was coughing and wheezing. They did a chest x-ray and a covid-19 test. Luckily the test was negative and the x-ray revealed I just have Bronchitis. It still sucks though cause I can't take prednisone like I usually would for my breathing issues. Reason being, it weakens your immune system. -_-

    Glad your getting better. Did you have any weird symptoms? We think I have a mild case, but I've been denied testing. Today I had a 20 minute period where I was smelling very a very intense ocean/seaweed smell while watching a video of someone cooking with kombu. It was so strong I could taste it if I inhaled with my mouth open and most of that 20 minutes was after I turned the video off. It was bizarre, I should have been smelling and tasting corn, but nope intense, slightly muddy seaweed.

    As someone else with allergies, I will also say that not ALL of us can tell. Some people have that tell-tale symptom or combo. Others, like me, are allergic to so many different things with so many different symptoms we can’t keep track of them. The skin allergies are pretty easy, but eyes and respiratory are the hardest, since those will often act up more when I’m sick. Plus, RAD makes it impossible to tell if I’m coughing because I’m sick, because I’m allergic, because the relative humidity is too high, or because I choked on water 12 hours ago and my system is still inflamed. I just think it’s important to recognize that not every person with “allergies” has the same experience.

That very same night i got major shivers, sore body, felt cold, and fever. But the very next morning all symptoms were gone except for the sore body which lasted most of the next day. Today i went to drink whiskey again thinking i could handle it like a pro and it was harsh. my parents had also had those same symptoms, same exact night and they also recovered by the next morning.

She started having a cough and very light temp 99.1 to 100.1 at highest. Temps came and went. She felt very tired and have body ache. She is doing ok just tired and light coughing. She is 40yrs old. Pretty sure she gonna be ok. She is a diabetic so underlying case also. Drink plenty of water and keep moving. Do breathing exercises it helps. Don't just lay down and sleep all day force yourself to get up walk around and do breathing exercises.

    Here's my two cents: Girlfriend had diarrhea for a couple of days, developed a dry cough, then lost her sense of smell. She had the dry cough and loss of smell/taste for 2 weeks, had chills, body aches for a few days, and headache. She's in the 3rd week now but feeling better. This week, I started showing similar symptoms. Started with a dry cough for 3 days and then on the 4th it all hit me like a brick. Wild body aches, throbbing headache, nausea, weak limbs, worsening cough, bit of shortness of breath, and a tightness and sharp pain in my chest. Doc said I probably have covid but the logistics of getting tested here in NY are a nightmare. My cardiologist even said not to worry about a test (talk about skewing the data though). Both told me to self-isolate for 14 days. I'm mentioning all of this to let you know that the symptoms are indeed all over the place. Some of the symptoms you mentioned only occurring in children or very rarely in adults have manifested in my girlfriend and I and now in a few more of our friends (all in our 20's). Maybe the doctors were wrong and it's not covid, but it likely is, given we've been in the city every single day. In my personal opinion, the data on the virus is absolutely primitive right now. Within two weeks we should hopefully have a more fleshed out understanding of it, but even then I doubt it. UPDATE: Tested positive for COVID. Also, forgot to mention this before, but the first symptoms for me were akin to a sinus infection and lasted for about 4 days before getting better for 2 days and then getting absolutely SLAMMED all at once by the rest of the symptoms. Hope this helps!

    Of the 23 people I personally know that have/had it, including myself and my household of 4...we all had identical base symptoms with a few having additional symptoms not experienced by all. The one thing we all had in common was not a single one had sinus congestion/runny nose. So if you have that...I would suspect something else first. Also, all have said that while the symptoms are common with other illnesses, we all thought it felt like a weird/different/bizarre/off/abnormal cold/flu. It swept through our area before there were known cases so Covid-19 wasn't really on our radar. We all had the same base symptoms including dry cough & fever that spiked high and fast but oddly leveled off between 102-103 without continuing to rise. Next, came the pounding headache that felt very similar to my migraines minus the accompanying aura/nausea and it too hit hard and fast and just hovered at 1000 degrees of awful, whereas a migraine is a slow build, peak, slow release. Covid hit the ground running with all symptoms which is one of the things that made it so abnormal for most of us. Finally, the extreme fatigue, that again hit full force and was unlike any fatigue we have felt with other illnesses. I slept an average of 20 hrs a day and still felt on the verge of collapse/sleep every waking minute, and getting up for the bathroom was about the extent of my capabilities. Even getting up for food seemed like way too much effort so when my illness and my hubby's overlapped, there were several days when we both ate next to nothing because we were simply too tired to get up to get something. Everyone in my circle recovered without complication except me. I developed pneumonia that is still hanging around and is not at all a welcome companion. I'm now being told to expect some degree of permanent lung damage when it's all over...but I'm still alive so I guess it could be worse! Also, I'm the only one who lost their sense of smell, and while I could still taste, everything just tastes wrong. It isn't continuous, it comes and goes randomly and doesn't seem to correspond with my main symptoms relapses.

    As a physician with a background in epidemiologist and Public Health, I was impressed with this video above many, many others. Just a few comments: 1. As noted at the end, there is no one symptom or set of symptoms that can perfectly rule in or rule out COVID-19. This is actually very common in medicine, and few people have “classic” versions of a condition (for example, most people who die of carbon dioxide poisoning don’t have the cherry red coloring seen in murder mysteries, etc.) 2. All medical tests have both a false negative, as noted, and a false positive rate. That is why those with mild symptoms may not get one of the limited COVID -19 tests, as in any case, you would will likely still be asked to self isolate and not spread either the cold, possible COVID infection to others. Clearly, seek care if your symptoms become severe. 3. As stated, the bulk of the data summarized here is from China, and the US is a new population exposed to a novel virus, so we can’t presume it is 100% predictive. Please also note that these initial data were gathered in great haste and in epidemics throughout history, there can be political pressures to make the outbreak appear less severe. In the opinion of many, the early message that young people essentially weren’t at risk on some media was unfortunate and has proven incorrect in the US population. A video or comment can never be medical advice, but although I don’t have the voice or other resources to prepare a well-done video like this, i would be happy to volunteer a quick look-thru or anything else to assist (I would be happy to forward my credentials) with future epidemiology or COVID videos.

    The "how infections work" thing I believe is about how the body raises its temperature to deal with an infection. That is, your fever is the body raising its temperature on purpose to hinder the virus and help the immune system work more energetically. Taking ibuprofin or Tylenol to lower your temp then might hinder your immune response, lengthening the infection and increasing your chances for complications or a bacterial infection. So, take that as you will.

As of right now the symptoms range from completely benign to respiratory issues with kids seeming to be the least effected. Kids seem to be more likely to pass it as just a normal cold or even just a bad stomach problem. It seems to effect everyone fairly sporadically. The only thing that really seems common is that their temperature will go up but that's it. Here are some statistics for you. www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-symptoms/

I had a sore throat and aches and took 3 weeks til i was better but was only real bad for 3-4 days same with everyone else took weeks till back to normal. I wish I could get a test to see if I have the antibodies or not. it did start in december and the only reason the numbers are so low is based on the limits of and limited amounts of test.
