Day 18 of isolation now I have sore throat

[Sittinonthefloor]

We’ve been fully isolating- have only been out for rural walks, have passed about 5 people the whole time and stayed meters away, have been wearing gloves for deliveries Which have been left by door & waiting 3 days before using them. HOW can I have a sore throat and sneezy feeling?! And should I now isolate from DH, dcs?

Hay fever?

Probably hay fever. Mine has started.

Woken up with first day of hayfever this year today, might be the same for you)

Sneezing isn't a sign of covid19. Runny nose is a cold! Or hayfever.

Symptoms are cough, fever and chest pain/breathing difficulties. Sometimes loss of taste or smell.

Does Hayfever give you a sore throat?

I don’t think I get hay fever! Reassuring re sneezes though, thanks calm ones! Although fully isolating for the duration of the Easter hols might be no bad thing!

It does for me. And a cough. It's quite annoying.

Hay fever for me feels like the first day of a cold - sneezy, sore throat - but it doesn’t progress like a cold and is worse on some days than others (obviously!). There’s a lot of tree pollen around at the moment

Also hayfever! I had a scratchy throat last week, and my nose alternates between runny and blocked. I also get different symptoms each year - sometimes very itchy eyes, other times it's more my nose. Some years I don't get it at all!

You can get hay fever as you get older. Women in particular. It’s something to do with hormone levels changing. I never use to suffer but have the last 2 yrs as I approach the menopause. I get sore throat, sinus pain and headache with it. Also itchy eyes.

Oh, interesting, thanks.

Coronado, v interesting on age and increase in hayfever. I started getting it at 40ish and it's only getting worse

OP my hay fever is just like you are describing and this year is bad.
