My younger sister started feeling unwell a couple of days ago, and her first symptom was really bad vomiting, followed by body aches. We then realised it was Covid. Can Covid actually start primarily with vomiting, or is it usually a later symptom?

Yes beta, it can happen. When my daughter was vomiting during her covid infection, I gave her small sips of ginger tea and some lemon water with a pinch of black salt. It really helped to soothe her stomach naturally.

I panicked so much when my brother started throwing up during covid because I thought it was only a lung infection. But then our family doc told us it is actually very common. It stopped in a day or two, so don't worry too much.

Tell me about it, my kid started vomiting at 3 AM when he got covid and I haven't slept a wink since. Cleaned the floor three times already. Yes, it definitely presents with vomiting, speaking from raw, sleepless experience.

Yes, absolutely! The new variants seem to target the stomach quite a bit. Just keep sipping on electral or coconut water and rest up. You'll get through this phase very soon!

Yes, it can. But please make sure to check your blood pressure and sugar levels if you are vomiting, as dehydration can cause sudden spikes or drops. Consult your physician for a safe anti-emetic dose.
