Been ill since New Year. Sore throat, cold,horrendous cough (but not productive) aching, weak , basically been from bed to sofa except for a couple of essential trips to corner shop, this leaves me exhausted! I have had flu in my teens and I don't think this is as bad as that was (now 41). I am never ill, fit and do a lot of exercise, if I am ever slightly unwell I get over it really quickly. THis has left me feeling really rough, I am supposed t be back in work Monday after 11 days off but the thought of it is just exhausting!
I know doctors can't do anything about viral illness and I'm not one for visiting doctors, in fact can't remember the last time I went, but do you think I need to go, or will paracetamol, fluids and rest sort it out? Thanks
