I woke up feeling a bit unwell on New Years Day (didn't go out or drink on Nye so can't be that) and have felt progressively worse since. I've got an extremely bad sore throat and a temperature- my temperature doesn't stay up though- it was down for a quite a while yesterday afternoon but was high again this morning. I don't really have a cough but am having to cough to clear my throat otherwise I can't really speak. My sense of taste isn't gone- things taste very different though- I had some chocolate (which I normally love) at lunch time and it tasted a bit bitter. I don't really have much of an appetite. One of my DC have had this cold thing that's been going around for well over a week now (they've tested negative multiple times) so I thought that was what I had but am starting to worry that it might be covid now. I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms and it turned out to be covid? Thank you
