The most common symptom of Omicron experienced by children was a headache.
The first one to warn about this new Omicron symptom was Dr Angelique Coetzee, who first raised alarm regarding the new strain.
Speaking to Sky News, she explained that this symptom also appears to be more “intense” for unvaccinated patients.
Now, parents are reporting this symptom as the main one in their children.
DON’T MISS:
This isn’t the only research backing the various symptoms of Omicron.
The ZOE COVID Study App has also been looking into the symptoms experienced by Omicron sufferers.
Their data reveals that only half of people have been struck by the classic three symptoms.
Similarly to the parent survey, Zoe’s findings suggest headache, runny nose and sore throat to be prominent.
If you suspect having any Covid symptoms, you have to self-isolate and get a test.
