About 5 weeks ago I got a really nasty virus - in bed for days, lost my voice for 48 hours, sinusitis... I've only just started to feel like I was actually over it, although I still had a slight cough. About the same time I developed a furry tongue which I've still not quite managed to get rid of.
The last couple of days my sinuses have been bothering me & my throat's sore. Just today I've barely got any voice, feel lousy & have a weird sore bit on my throat. It doesn't bother me most of the time but when I touch it it's like poking a really big, painful zit. No external sign of anything though.
Can someone please tell me I'm being ridiculous & have just happened to get 2 viruses consecutively & that the zit-like pain is nothing to worry about?! I wouldn't be remotely worried if any of my family/close friends had been ill recently but I have no idea where the viruses keep coming from! I don't go out much so it's not like I'm sitting on a crowded bus every day. I've had 2 acquaintances under 35 die from cancer recently so I may slightly freak out over the tiniest symptoms... I'm overreacting, aren't I?!
