COVID Toes?


My cousin was diagnosed with COVID-19 and the only symptom was something the doctor called COVID Toes. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

 Recently, yes. AARP printed an article about this in a recent newsletter. Some have described COVID toes as similar to chilblains. The list of symptoms is growing and these may not even be all of them. 

·         Fever

·         Cough

·         Shortness of Breath

·         Loss of taste or smell

·         Runny nose or nasal congestion

·         Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and severe appetite loss

·         Headaches, dizziness, and confusion

·         Fever or chills

·         Coughing

·         Hallucinations

·         Blood clots

·         Hearing loss

·         High blood sugar

·         Sore throat

·         Muscle or body aches

·         COVID toes
