I can't remember feeling so unwell before. I'm coughing up horrible green stuff (sorry tmi), my throat is agony, my chest really hurts when I cough, I have zero appetite, haven't eaten properly in 6 days now, and instead of getting better I'm feeling a bit better one day and then 20x worse the next. I've tried to keep going at work this week despite feeling so awful so maybe that hasn't helped, I've possibly pushed myself too far. I'm at home today and feeling absolutely rotten. Im in tears with the pain all over my body and my throat and chest 😢

Anyone else got this ?? It's absolutely floored me. I've called the GP and they're ringing me back this afternoon but in all honesty they'll probably just say it's viral and I have to ride it out. 😢

We had it over Christmas plus I had covid on top of it.

It was dreadful and we've only just gotten over it.

If you have green sputum that's a chest infection and you need antibiotics. Hopefully your GP will prescribe some. In the meantime you need to rest.

We all had it over Christmas - thankfully after Boxing Day. It wiped us out and it took a while to get over it. It was definitely going around in this area. Not Covid. I didn't eat for days, just drank a lot of hot drinks (felt very dehydrated) and painkillers. Fingers crossed your GP is helpful.
