400;\"> more frequent with Nimbus, which is a subvariant of Omicron, a variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It causes swelling in the throat and makes swallowing painful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not like the regular scratchiness, but causes intense pain that feels sharper and more intense, almost like there are tiny cuts inside the throat. That\u2019s why people often say, \u201cMy throat is like razor blades.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to this one major symptom, Nimbus is commonly referred to as the &#8220;razor blade throat variant,&#8221; but it is not an actual medical term for this variant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doctors advise that having a razor-thin throat does not mean the virus is high-risk, but you may need to take extra care and time to heal completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that the spread of the NIMBUS variant, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/national\/covid-19-cases-surged-during-may-end-declined-after-june-13-rajya-sabha-told\/article69843270.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NB.1.8.1, spiked at the end of May 2025 and began to decline after June 13, 2025<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in India, according to The Hindu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this dominant strain of virus has not entirely vanished and can still infect people.
