I'm keen to hear from anyone who has had a nasty cold this winter, starting with classic cold-type headache, sore throat, blocked nose etc but then became a more chronic problem.
I was visiting London (from the Southern Hemisphere) over the New Year period and got a really nasty cold. Worst of it was about a week with extremely sore throat.
It's now a month later and I still have a terrible cough, ongoing sinus problems and just generally feeling rubbish. I've had steroids (2 courses) an inhaler, and antibiotics. The cough has been quite debilitating at times (has fluctuated with medications but comes back) and this week it appears that I have done some damage to my intercostal muscles and coughing is very very painful.
Cough is dry, not very productive but I feel like there is a lot of crap deep in my lungs that won't come up.
Anyone else had this delightful bug? Am keen to know if any treatment worked, if it is common this winter and how long til you got over it.
