What was it like? I think DD(17) has it. No cough but she becomes very breathless after saying more than a few words and tells me she doesn’t feel ‘satisfied’ by her breathing and she has to breathe fully into her diaphragm or she’ll feel like she hasn’t breathed at all. Also keeps waking up with a sore throat but it fades over a couple of hours.

Also her eyes are sore, they look white but if you look under the lids there is like a red shadow around her eye. It’s hard to explain but definitely not something I’ve seen before.

Could be hayfever. Pollen levels are at a 70year high this year due to hottest April on record. Try antihistamines. Sore throat that fades is common with hayfever.
I don’t normally have hayfever but this year I have had same symptoms as you DD for the last 2 weeks. It was better yesterday because the temp dropped considerably earlier in the week.
