Omicron symptoms parents may be able to spot in children as signs of Covid - The Mirror

The exchange of information has helped put together an image of what the symptoms of the virus are while proper research from scientists has been ongoing.

At the time of writing, the official NHS advice still reports a new and persistent cough, a loss of taste or smell and a fever as the main symptoms - but read on for how parents say the virus is differing for their kids.

The first thing to note is how different the responses were between families' experiences - while some kids had little to no symptoms, others were left quite unwell by the virus.

More than 50 parents said their kids had suffered from a headache, 48 said there had been fever or temperature and 46 reported cold-like symptoms or a runny nose.
