I work in the NHS so I should know better really....over this weekend I've had a few spells of feeling a bit flushed (but temp is all over the place between 36.8 and 37.5 - so not even high) a bit headachy and a sore 'burning' windpipe (rather than throat!) - it's actually pretty mild and wouldn't stop me from doing anything and also disappears for a few hours then comes back. I had it yesterday for a bit but was fine this morning....then it came back again this afternoon. I've just coughed 4 times (again, a throat tickle - nothing special!)....at any other time I wouldn't think about it.
It's really mild. But I'm due back at the hospital tomorrow. I can get swabbed easily enough but obviously can't go in tomorrow until that's arranged. It doesn't fit the NHS advice of high temp or continuous cough though so might have a few eye rolls......
