Covid Symptoms Diarrhea Has Been Named As A Common Symptom Among Vaccinated Britons

According to data collected by the ZOE Health Study app, diarrhea is a common symptom of Covid for vaccinated Britons. The data shows that there was an increase in people reporting this symptom in January 2022 and that some of them were related to the Omicron variant of Covid-19. However, the ZOE team pointed out that there appeared to be a “wave of other non-Covid abdominal bugs circulating as well”. The team said diarrhea may be an early symptom of the virus, starting on the first day of infection and worsening over the course of a week. “It usually lasts an average of two to three days, but can last up to seven days in adults,” the ZOE team said. The data showed that this symptom has become less common with each variation, with nearly a third of adults over 35 reporting having diarrhea during the Alpha wave, while only one in five said they experienced it during the Omicron and Delta waves. People who experienced it during the last two waves had either been vaccinated twice or had also received a booster shot. The NHS says that diarrhea is common in adults and the most important thing to do is to stay hydrated. The health service also advises to stay at home and get plenty of rest and eat food when you feel you can. If you have diarrhea along with other common Covid symptoms such as a high temperature, new cough and loss or change in your sense of taste or smell, make sure you get a Covid test and follow government guidance if you test positive.
