Question to those who have had the "worst cold ever"...

[JorisBonson]

When does it end?? Saturday marks 2 weeks for me, I'm still coughing like an 80 a day smoker (especially at night, I miss sleep) and my nose is red raw because I'm still needing to blow it.

Day 9 for me and I have coughed so much I burst a blood vessel in my eye. 😭

And nothing touches it! If you cut me I would bleed covonia.

DH had been coughing for almost 2 weeks and the GP picked up that he has a bad infection in his lungs when he went for a regular checkup for an ongoing condition (not cough/cold related). Antibiotics are helping now.

If your cough isn't improving I'd get it checked out.

I am two weeks in and just can’t stop coughing. My ribs are so sore and I have no energy, it really is a rubbish cold!

Two weeks for me too, I'm still coughing, but its infinitely better then it was, for the first week i barely slept for coughing.

Two weeks for me too, I'm still coughing, but its infinitely better then it was, for the first week i barely slept for coughing.

I'm in that phase now 2 weeks in. Luckily I'm on a course that can be done over teams this week so I'm not exerting myself very much!

Can you all still taste with it? I can't yet all but one LFT have come back negative and the one that looks positive looks more like an evaporation line. Just awaiting my PCR results now. I don't feel as rough as I did the first couple of days but my chest feels so tight, my back is throbbing my lungs feel tender and I have a really deep chesty cough

I had this vile cold/flu /feltlikedying thing a few weeks ago, just couldn't shift it! Just horrid!

I got some propolis ( fab stuff, bees are so amazing!) within a couple of days I felt so much better, have a Google of it, I was shocked how quickly I felt on the mend, I've stocked up for winter now.

I got the liquid form, but there's capsules as well but I found the liquid helped with the hacking cough and red raw throat really quickly. I bought it from medino, online x

Hope you all feel better soon x

@HopingForOurRainbowBaby yes, can still taste and smell, all LFT's and PCR negative.

@Lifeisshortandbittersweet I will look at that, thank you!
