Probably on day 6 of Covid. Cough has been awful since the beginning. Phlegmy cough since beginning. Have waited it out and now have called nhs for advice. Waiting call back from dr.

Am just scared. V scared. Am double vaxxed but am v overweight. Haven't recovered like I thought I would have. In fact had a temp again last night.

Am early 40s.

Feels like a bit of a nightmare.

My Covid cough lasted for 12 weeks. Day 6 is quite early… I am currently on day 9 of a nasty cold!
Are you feeling breathless/tight chested?

Tiredout123 · 14/10/2021 13:24

Yes tight chested

Day 5 here (what feels like a billion)
I have a cough with green phlegm and from nose.
Temp under control with regular paracetamol.
I spoke to the GP earlier in week and said to leave it 7 to 10 days before antibiotics.
The worst symptom for me is the exhaustion.

Day 8 here, no cough but a very tight chest. I have one of those oxygen reader things as I have asthma and I’ve had one for years. My stats are 98% so all good. I have endless green snot pouring out my nose, my sinuses are a mess & horrifically painful! I’m wondering if it’s an infection now but I’ll ride it out a bit longer. I’ve had a couple fevers but paracetamol is holding it off thankfully.

Sounds like you might have a secondary chest infection if you are coughing up green crap - they might give you antibiotics. But unfortunately, day 6 is still prime virus time - what is it you are worried about? Are you struggling to breathe? Hope you are ok!

I was given antibiotics for a secondary chest infection but not until around day 21.

My stats are going between 90 and 98 so am worried about that too

Also on day 6 here. Today is the worst day. No cough thankfully just very woolly headed. Hope you're feeling ok everyone else x

Take your SATs at rest and after moving about. If it stays below 94 you should ring 111.

I had covid badly and it got worse from day 7 onwards.
