Anyone struggling with this awful cold?

[MissChief001]

Not covid as per the tests - it started with a throat, but as of yesterday having an awful cough. Not chesty more thickly throat and cough

If it's what I have had, and it sounds like it, yes. Been 2 weeks now and I am still rattling like a tin can of spray paint.

We all had it January through to March. Only things that helped with the cough were Jakemans menthols and a hot toddy with co-codamol at bed time.
All the best 😊

Me! I am going in to my fourth week of this and to top it off I am 32 weeks pregnant. Mine started as a dry cough which turned in to a wet, deep almost barking sound. I am coughing up all sorts of lovely coloured mucus and my chest is crackling and rattling. I have had days where I’ve felt I’m getting better and then I’ll go downhill again. Like yesterday for example! Earlier in the week I felt I was on the mend but yesterday I woke up and felt back to square one. My GP told me it was viral so I can’t have anything to help shift if. It’s making me very breathless and I have also had multiple negative LFTs.

I could've written this post! I had it for just under six weeks. It simply wouldn't go and was hideous.

I was shattered, temperature, sore throat, sick, cough, aching/limbs hurting, headaches, swollen glands etc.

I hope you feel better soon.
