Covid Current Top Symptom and Treatment Advice (Oct 22)

Things change with Covid as the virus develops, waxes and wanes and it’s useful that the Zoe app is still tracking those changes. Throughout the pandemic, they have done sterling work to advise us what to look for – which often does not correlate with official guidance from the NHS, sadly.

So, what’s the current top symptom of Covid?

Sore throat is becoming a dominant symptom of COVID-19 infection, with fever and loss of smell becoming less common, according to recent reports in the U.K.

Note in the comments that doctors are seeing quite severe cases of ‘razor blade’ sore throats lasting up to a week or so. So, it doesn’t necessarily mean minor.

If you get the start of a sore throat, one of my best tips is to suck on immune lozenges with plenty of zinc and Vitamin C, Elderberry ones or Propolis spray, rotating them throughout the day. Make sure your Vitamin D level is high enough and follow the guidance in my free Covid factsheet.

Also, some health professionals are predicting we could see a flu epidemic this year as Covid is not so prevalent, so this advice will also help if you feel that starting.

Retiring, but loads of help still here!
