Anyone else with painful throat

I have a dry tickly cough, cough maybe 8 to 10 times a day and my throat is painful. Could it be corona?

I have a really sore throat, but also feel like my sinuses are thick, stuffy nose, and ears. So probably just a cold here.

I had similar about a week ago Rafffa.

It never came to anything, but I'm still self isolating just in case.

I did earlier, but then I realised it was probably just hay fever, and an anti-histamine has solved it, and put my mind at rest.

Same. Ds 15 has had a bad cough that started 2 weeks ago so have been self isolating since we told to if anyone in the household showed symptoms. Dd 3 also has a cough after having a temp and now snotty. I’ve just had a sore throat for a while and dry cough a few times a day. Really hard to tell. Would be interesting to know.

Oh Judy sinuses flare ups are not fun at all.
Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, Ton that's reassuring i've had it for 2 weeks. It's weird it's not getting better or worse.

I had a headache and sore throat for 3 weeks and in the middle of it all I was ok just for a day and then it came back, it never came to anything either.
