I just had weird throat congestion and cough! It seemed like a allergy type of reaction.Yep, this year's strain is very weird and seemed to go right for the throat. The BIGGEST Google search keywords this year was "COVID 2025 symptoms", no doubt from everybody who got the new variant and also found out that it was way different than the previous hits. The second trending search was "hantavirus", due to Betsy Arakawa's and Gene Hackman's horrific deaths.
Thought it was from pollen. But, I usually don't have much of a reaction to spring time pollen!
No sore throat near tonsils. Was all down at the bottom of throat.
Woke up one morning with a mild strider and never got a fever. Mild headache came and went! No fever. Didn't even take any aspirin. Was over in about 5 days.
Edit.
The 1st time I had covid. My main symptom was a nasty sore throat. Low fever and headache. Not a lot of congestion. Coughing wasn't bad.
2nd time was very mild! I take daily high doses of Vitamin D3 and K.
