Day 1 - Monday - shivery, nausea, exhausted
day 2 - razor throat. Still shivery, nauseous, exhausted
day 3 - as above
day 4 (today) - not shivery but instead hot, exhausted, awful cough that’s painful like I’m coughing my throat out and coughing up tons of phlegm, very sore throat, body aching, now my nose is totally blocked and can’t breathe

is this the flu?
and honestly how much longer will this torture last? It’s doing my head in especially with 2 young kids to run around after.
I’m drinking, I’m eating as and when I feel like it, I’m taking paracetamol and vitamins, Vicks first defence spray although that’s clearly done sod all, someone send help (or tell me how much longer I have to put up with this!)

thanks!

Seven weeks for it to completely go here

I saw the GP on Friday who said my chest sounded like I have bronchitis and gave antibiotics but not touched the sides so it’s obviously viral 🙁

I went to GP as well as it's been a month and suddenly gotten a lot worse, with fever and chills at night, really bad aches and pains and fatigue, this horrible cough, and apparently I have a UTI and possible chest infection although chest sounds clear. I just feel really really unwell :(
