Sore Throat

Has anyone had an awful sore throat with covid? I had my 4th booster a few weeks ago as I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant.
I tested positive on Sunday but still feel shocking. I can hardly speak, I have an intermittent headache but my throat is the worst bit by far. How long does it last? I really don’t want to go into labour like this 😣

Yes I thought that was the main initial symptom! It’s really wretched. I had covid at 36 weeks and that was bad enough! Poor you. For me the sore throat lasted probably a week and then just weeks of horrendous snot. Good luck!

Thanks @MassiveSalad22 I can cope with snot it’s just this throat I’m struggling with 😩 Good to know it hopefully won’t last much longer though.

Yes that was my worst symptom, like razor blades. It lasted about 4 days for me.

Hope you feel better soon!
