“Is abdominal pain after COVID infection normal?”
I had abdominal pain after my COVID infection recovery. Will it go away on its own?

Coronavirus infection is largely respiratory. It can reside in nostrils and pharynx or it can cross through respiratory tissues. Our immune system will respond with inflammatory molecules to eradicate infection. Inflammatory molecules can incite muscle aches and gastrointestinal reactions that may include cramping or vomiting. Heavy mucus that is swallowed will also incite similar gastrointestinal symptoms. Long-lasting pain should be evaluated.
Probably, but I would need a lot more detail about the pain in order to say with more confidence
