Our 7 month old started coughing Wednesday. Wife and I with the dry/scratchy throats Thursday & Friday. Saturday I had pretty tough headache/body ache/tiredness. Sunday it got a bit better, but the cough started. Wife was always slightly less severe than me. Monday both even better, cough intermittent. Today I feel like a human being again, just in time for our 7 year old to start coughing. She was doing the puking thing BEFORE the baby was sick last week, and she had tested negative then so I thought it was a different thing... maybe not. Weird that she is now getting the cough though.



My wife and I lost our taste and smell yesterday. I was feeling better so I took a shower, and I could not smell the smelly soaps. Reading online about that is scary, it could be back in a few days, weeks, months, or never



The worst part (so far) has been the baby coughing at night. It interrupts our her rest, our rest, and my mental well-being. I'm so worried that she'll need some help that any noise wakes me.



Anyway, I am 3x vaccinated, wife 2x, 7 year old none yet, and baby none. The only thing different lately is that we've not been wearing masks...
Regarding the taste and smell, I lost mine for about 2 weeks. Weirdest thing ever - literally zero taste or smell yet my nose was perfectly clear.

As I said, mine came back, but then about 8 weeks later my sense of smell went all wacky. Meat and well, poop and gas has a sweet metallic smell. Some flavours have a perfume taste and I can't figure out which ones. And I think overall, my sense of taste and smell is less than what it use to be. Maybe a good weight loss program.

Hope you're feeling better.
