I don’t remember any nasal soreness. I had a very brief low grade fever, some pretty strong muscle aches, and a general crappy feeling with some very mild congestion. It really wasn’t all that bad for me. But again, the sense of smell didn’t start until I was already feeling much better. Conversely, my wife lost her sense of smell immediately and recovered it within a week. I have heard of people having nasal soreness related to the virus but I didn’t have it.
