I and two of my kids had covid in July. Symptoms for me were mainly stuffiness and a slight headache for about 4 days. I was also tired and lacked motivation to do much beyond watching tv and light reading, although I did go out each day not knowing I had more than a cold. It was like the worst cold I ever had, but nowhere nearly as bad as having the flu.
My 18 year old had a stuffed nose for two days.
My 19 year old had the same symptoms as me but for one or two days longer. She also lost her sense of taste and smell for about two weeks.
Treatment was limited to sleep, Tylenol and decongestant.
Some get it worse. Others not as bad.
