I’m hoping someone can give me some light at the end of my gloomy tunnel and share their experiences....I had my flu jab (I’m 6 months pregnant) 3 weeks ago and that evening developed a razor sharp sore throat and cough, this quickly developed into a full on congested cold/cough and general feeling rubbish. After 3 days of no sleep I went to the docs who gave me co-amoxicillan, an inhaler and some codeine linctus. I am also epileptic and sleep deprivation is no good for my condition - especially pregnant! After 7 day course I’m no better so go back to the gp who says my chest is clear and it must be a viral infection that will go eventually. I’m now in week 4 and nothing has changed - other than excruciating rib pain every time I cough/move/sleep - I assume these are bruised ribs from all the coughing. It’s pure misery - I don’t leave the house as any lifting/ walking around and normal day activities just makes it all worse. I’m working from home & I also have a 2 1/2 yr old to look after but hubby has had to take time off to look after her as I can’t do much without being in agony! Anyone had the same going on? When will I feel better?!
