Sorry, million dollar question I know. Just looking for thoughts.
I went on holiday with my sister last week, in a caravan. She was recovering from covid but when we met up for hols, it was 11 days after she tested positive. She also didn’t test as soon as she had symptoms because she didn’t have a test at the time.
Our trip on the Saturday. On Wednesday of last week I started to have a weird feeling like there was something in my throat/chest where the 2 collarbones meet, but inside. I didn’t think much of this at first but by Friday I had a sore throat and by Sunday so just over a week ago) I started with a cough. No other symptoms.
I did a LFT that was negative but I wonder is it possible I could have got covid from my sister even though she was over 10 days post test and was also testing neg by this point?
Also I find in broadly find during the day and then by the time 8pm rolls around and I want to sit and watch TV or whatever I start to cough, and it’s disrupting both my evenings and my sleep - 4 nights on the spin now and because there aren’t that many symptoms during the day I sort of forget about it, but then get really fed up when it’s the evening and it begins all over again. I find I have a lot of phlegm on my chest in the mornings but once that’s all cleared the rest of the day is fine.
Does this sounds like anyone else’s experience of covid and if so, how did you get rid of the evening coughing and why does it happen when it is not a problem in the day? Taking the Wednesday when I noticed vague symptoms I’m now on day 9 of whatever this is ….
