I had covid in April last year, was very poorly.

I feel quite phlegmy and have abit of a cough/sore chest, a runny nose and ear ache.

Do you think i could have it again? Iv not left my house in ages lol.

I don’t know if my anxiety is playing up and making it worse :(

Have you had any contact with anyone else who has been outside in your household. Yes, if you had covid in April, immunity, they say, lasts about 6 months.

I know a doctor who tested positive in April last year and again just after Christmas (he had had positive antibody and negative tests in between) It’s definitely possible.

Several of my colleagues have had it twice, it's definitely possible

Sorry. I know someone who's had it twice! Best get a test. Having said that, anxiety does very strange things to a body.

I’m not sure if I have it, I think it’s just anxiety.

My throat feels “tight” or scratchy and like I’m coughing to scratch it.

I had it in March and then again in December (both confirmed). If you have a new cough get a test.

My DD had it last March. She has had three or four coughs since September. Every time I have taken her for a test and it has been negative. You have a new continuous cough which is a symptom, which requires a test, and then hopefully it will be negative and you can stop worrying.

I had it match and November.

March

If you have symptoms then you need to either test or isolate on the assumption you have it again.
