Anyone else had a sore throat, chesty cough and tiredness?

Just starting to feel a bit more normal after a few days of an odd sore throat, chesty/flemming (sorry), cough, tiredness but no nose/cold symptoms. It was horrible.

Don't really know if it was some kind of virus/bug/COVID variant going around?
Anyone had similar?

Most people that I know have had it, there’s just a lot of different viruses going around.

Yes, got on a plane on Saturday with a dry sore throat, got off 4 hours layer barking like a dog. Only got rid of a horrendous and lengthy bug two weeks ago 🙄

Got it at the moment. Started with a sore throat, like there was something stuck. Sore throat has gone but now have a hacking cough. No other symptoms.

I had this for most of last week. A week later and I’m finally not feeling as wiped out. 😬
