Is It COVID-19 Or Seasonal Allergies?
Nausea/vomiting
Never allergy-related; sometimes COVID-19-related
Nausea and vomiting can make an already miserable situation worse since you can’t simply stay in bed and rest – you’re constantly running to the toilet, when you’re low on energy as it is. If you are unsure whether it’s allergies or COVID-19 that has you feeling under the weather, experts say nausea and/or vomiting tip things in the direction of COVID-19, as that is never a symptom of allergies, and occasionally a symptom of COVID-19. Research has found there are several reasons the virus can cause these symptoms, including a systematic inflammatory response, or psychological distress. It may even result as a side effect from certain drugs.
