Anyone else got this awful sounding dry cough and sore throat? We've all got it here so despite being off from work on annual leave, I'm ill!. I was up all night coughing last night and feel no better today.

Yes! Had it 2 weeks now. Cough has gone but the sore throat is still here. Family all very tired too…

Sending bucket loads of sympathy. I'm exhausted with it too and the kids have it. I'm suspicious of COVID, Flu or someone even said some strain of chickenpox variant sounds like this.

I’ve had it almost 3weeks! Throat is much better but my nose is sooooo sore as it just doesn’t stop running! Started coughing and wheezing a few days ago. Tested for Covid but was negative! I just can’t wait to be able to breathe properly again 🤧😷

Might it be allergies? Tis the season.
