Honestly, after handling a teething toddler all night, any symptom feels like Covid to me. But yes, the stomach version was definitely a thing back then. Just isolate yourself and sleep if your gut actually lets you.

When my whole family got affected in 2021, my wife did not have any cough, only severe stomach upset and nausea. It can definitely be a symptom. Don't worry, just rest well and keep sipping warm water.

Yes, gastro symptoms were quite common with some variants. If your doctor allows and you have the energy, just do some very light stretching or a slow walk inside your room to keep circulation going, but hydration is your top priority right now.

Yes, it can happen during viral infections. You can try taking fresh ginger juice with honey and ORS for hydration, but if the vomiting is severe and you feel very weak, please consult a doctor immediately.

It can be Covid, yes. Best thing is to self-isolate in one room for 2-3 days, take ORS water, and eat simple khichdi. If you have fever too, just get a basic tele-consultation done with your local family doctor.
