Woke up feeling pain the the stomach when I started coughing due to accumulated phlegm. Cough is much reduced since y’day evening but wonder why is the pain there.

My sister in law who caught Omicron last month - told me that she had serious stomachache at that time and the pain was so unbearable that she went to A & E Department of Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for injection to stop the pain. But the pain was disappeared after a few days. Try to see a doctor if the stomach pain getting worse. Fighting with Omicron is surely a terrible experience.

I'm sorry that Esteema and others have such a bad experience with Omicron. Hope she gets better quickly.

But please don't frighten yourself others unduly - many people have very mild cases of Omicron and some are asymptomatic. Among my husband and colleagues who have caught it in recent weeks, the main complaints have been sore throat, slight cough, some runny nose, mild fever, fatigue (not everyone got all of these). Most felt well after about 3 days even if they still tested positive for a few more days.

But not everyone seems to catch it so easily. My daughters and I didn't when my husband had it, and another colleague's husband had it, but she and her son also didn't catch it. Whereas some colleagues and their spouses both had it.

Slmkhoo, I really hope we are like you and your dd, not getting it despite being near to an infected person..but will still prepare for it..

dd2 had her 2nd dose few days ago and I haven't got dd1 for her booster yet. She had her 2nd dose early Sep. Should I bring her for booster, I keep asking myself? Last mth when we talked, she mentioned she seems to feel abit more of breathlessness when she climb up stairs..

You must be feeling terrible back then! Glad that it’s all over for you now. Woke up feeling pain the the stomach when I started coughing due to accumulated phlegm. Cough is much reduced since y’day evening but wonder why is the pain there.

I don’t typically take anything spicy nor hv oily food in our family meals. Had been going for 清淡 stir fries, bake or steam meals. Tumeric is always in one of my meats. Hope today will be better!

Hope everyone hv a good start of the day!

Sorry to hear that you are infected and fighting symptoms that definitely sound uncomfortable. I am fighting a different Covid war! Reporting. So many reports to submit and manpower shortage. Was telling DH that soon the uninfected will be the minority. DH said that his colleague in Korea said that over there, if you have not yes been infected, that means you are anti-social or have no friends.

It is really all over. Parent pass to kids, Grandparents pass to kids. Classmates pass to each other. School going kids pass to family. And one funny one, DH's colleague's son tried to pull a fast one to skip school. He drew the 2nd line on the ART kit and told the father he tested positive.

Kids seem to bounce back much faster. Niece was infected. Fever for a days, slept for 1 day a bit of cough and runny nose and 5th day she tested negative already. Some kids exhibited stomach flu symptoms before testing positive. So maybe in some cases the virus does affect the gut. Adults seem to suffer a multitude of symptoms and after effects.

Anyways, keep yourself hydrated, rest well, stay mentally positive ( nowadays cannot just say stay positive )

Speedy recovery yah.

MrsKiasu,
Try to bring your DD1 for booster fast. I and my DH were saved by the booster and we cannot imagine how sick we would be if we didn't take our booster. Don't hesitate.

Actually, we feel \"cheated\" - we would have preferred to get it and have it out of the way. Now we still have to keep thinking, \"if I get it, will I have to cancel/postpone/miss something?\" - if we knew the risk of getting it was lower (because we already had it before), it would be easier to plan stuff. My colleague's son has gone back to university without having caught it, and he will have the possibility hanging over his head till he (almost inevitably) gets it.

I would say get the booster. If she was fine with 2 shots, she will most likely be fine with the 3rd. And the sickness, especially when immunity is low, is generally worse. My colleagues who caught it (all boosted) mostly said that they've had worse flus in the past.

I think the breathlessness is probably lack of sufficient exercise and activity! I've noticed it in myself this past year.

Staff's DD just tested positive. I told her look on the bright side, she is vaccinated and so far most kids seem to have rather mild symptoms. We do not know how long this infection is going to go on. PSLE year for her girl so better to get it now then nearer exam period.

What is your concerns about the booster since she has already had the earlier 2 jabs? It is either you get the booster to up your chances of not getting infected/get mild symptoms only or don't bother about booster and just get infected and get it over with. Why worry on both ends? So mentally draining.
