Day 1 - mid January - scratchy throat, little irritating dry cough, repetitive all day.
Days 2-7 killer sore throat, aches and pains all round neck and throat, shoulders, arms, had to sit still as so sore. Lump in throat feeling but could swallow ok. Shooting pain in neck are and burning all round windpipe area (throat to upper chest).
Day 8 - still got irritating little dry cough, sudden feeling that can’t breathe and starting breathing for really fast. Rattling phlegm in chest. Scary.
Day 9 - breathing fine. Voice croaky. Throat still sore and pains in neck/ shoulder still bad.
This gradually resolved over the next month.
But had no fever! Just wondered if anyone else had this presentation as it was so odd. I even went to see an ENT consultant but he couldn’t see anything structurally wrong.
