Day five and feeling worse

[Realitea]

Day five here and last night was the worst. Chest feels bruised from the coughing which lasted all night. It’s the strong tickle in the throat that sets me off. Ds has had it seven days and no better than day 1. How much more of this hell should we expect? I was crying all morning which isn’t like me! Just had enough of it. Yesterday I was at least able to get up and do some tree decorating and make a nice dinner, I feel like I’m getting worse

Are you sure you don’t need some medical assistance OP? I don’t know if I had Covid as we don’t have any tests and the two pharmacy’s near me didn’t have any.

I had a constant cough to the point where I was apparently having an asthma attack each time. Chest is all bruised and aches.Never had asthma. Couldn’t for the life of me blow into the asthma test that well. Shocked me.

I saw the out of hours GP in the end and they gave me steroids and an inhaler.

how are you how? Consider calling 111 or GO if you are still struggling 💐

I thought I was getting better on day 5 and then it took a turn for the worse. I think I'm day 10 and the cough and mucus were maybe 10% better today.

4am and I'm lying in bed feeling sorry for myself over a terribly sore diaphragm and stomach. I just want to stop coughing so I can sleep. I hope things improve for you soon, it is very difficult when you're coughing so much.

I'm on day 5 and oddly feeling a bit worse in some ways too. Friday I had a fever and banging headache and felt really bad, yesterday evening (Monday) I was actually feeling like I was mostly improved. Today (Tuesday) I feel quite sick and taste maybe a bit muted. Not sure why on day 5 it wouldn't be continuing to improve
