How long are these things supposed to last?

[festiveface]

Feel like i'm dying ere! Have done since thursday.
Trouble is i seem to be getting worse rather than better.
I've got immensely tickly cough
Headache
High temperature
shivers and mega sweats
sore stomach and occasional pains in chest( i think from the non stop coughing.)

Do i just keep popping the paracetamol then? No good with illnesses and stuff!

if it's getting worse then my advice is to go to your gp. also drink plenty of fluids.

FF - had to respond even if it's just to say dump the festive, move on, it's over .

Don't want to worry you, but I know a fair few people who've developed pneumonia over the past few months. Agree with crackers, go to GP.
