Just a moan

[reddevilunited]

As the title says really.

Tomorrow I start a new job and I'm laid here now feeling rotten. I'm full of cold and I have woken up unable to swallow.

I haven't been unwell for a long time but right now I'm feeling pretty grim.

Unlucky. Can you get two cold and flu tablets and have some strong coffee?

Try and rest up today. Keep warm and drink plenty if fluids.
For your throat, gargle warm salt water. It won't cure the cold virus but does bring some temporary relief to a sore throat.

I hope you feel better soon.

Urghh I've just got over it I always forget how rotten it makes me feel.

As another poster has said stock yourself up with cold and flu tablets plenty of fluids.

I really feel for you what awful timing, it might help tomorrow though when your mind is distracted.

I wish you all the best for tomorrow congratulations on your new job!!

I'm just feeling sorry for myself and I can't believe the bad timing of coming down with this now. I don't think I've had a cold for about 3 years.

I will be dosing myself up as much as possible, the job is in a social care environment so it's not as though can keep myself to myself.

I'm a bit worried I'll be looked down upon for going in unwell because of bloody Covid. Done a LFT that is negative.

OH has said leave it to them to send me away if necessary. I have to wear a mask but I'm pretty sure I'll be blowing my nose every two minutes and coughing!

I suppose they can tell me to go for a PCR and I leave it in their hands.

Bloody Covid, before all this I wouldn't have stressed about it.

For a very sore throat, I use Diflam spray.

You may well feel reasonable in the morning, these things always hit hardest at night.

As PP says: gargle with warm salty water, take some paracetamol, and spray your tonsils with Diflam.

I've woken up feeling worse than I did yesterday. My ears hurt, chest aches, I've now got a cough and I honestly do not know how I'm going to make it through the day.

My OH has suggested going in and from the off telling them I'm not well but didn't want to call in sick with it being my first day and leave it up to them what they want me to do.

I cannot believe the bad timing of this. I'm so pissed off. All I want to do is climb in bed and rest.

How are you doing OP let us know how it went

If you have a cough you need to get a PCR test. Apologies if you already have I can only see you've done a lateral flow.
