With Covid spreading around the world and mutating time after time, we're constantly finding ourselves with new variants to contend with.
And while the virus changes, its symptoms appear to change too.
According to the NHS website, the original symptoms of Covid-19 that we need to look out for are a high temperature, a new and continuous cough and a loss of taste or smell.
But people contracting the Omicron variant of the virus are reporting all sorts of different symptoms not included in the list, including a runny/blocked nose, back pain and night sweats.
And for one influencer who tested positive for Covid at Christmas, claims she's suffering from another side-effect.

Former Miss Universe Australia Olivia Molly Rogers was spending the festive period with her family in the south of Australia when she received her positive result from a lateral flow test.
She experienced all the usual symptoms of a dry cough and a fever, but she took to Instagram to explain a weirder side-effect she seems to be experiencing.
Olivia wrote: “I can’t stop burping. I googled it and apparently it’s part of the gastrointestinal symptoms of Covid, not that common though. Has anyone else had this with Covid?”
She added she's been experiencing itchy eyes on top of all the other symptoms.
After taking a PCR test which confirmed she had Covid, she joked: “Good to know my consistent burping wasn’t just me being a bit feral.”
Medical News Today reports Covid can cause unusual gastrointestinal symptoms in some people.
In fact, a study has shown that 53% of people in hospital with Covid have experienced at least one gastrointestinal issue.
Research has suggested symptoms like diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting and abdominal pain can be caused by Covid.
Less commonly, it can also cause belching, acid reflux and indigestion.
