I've had this virus type thing for 5 days now.

It started off with a sore throat, blocked nose.. typical cold symptoms, and it has now turned in to an absolute monster.

I'm constantly producing green, thick snot, hot and cold sweats, I'm absolutely exhausted, no appetite, glands are so swollen, soft clothes feel painful against my skin, temp of 38.4c, can't taste or smell anything, chest feels tight, eyes are burning...

It's NOT covid. I've taken multiple LTF tests and 2 PCRs.. all negative.

But I just feel absolutely horrendous, and I'm wondering if I maybe do need to contact my doctors on Wednesday if I'm no better.

I have taken paracetamol (cold and flu tablets) religiously but no luck.

Has anyone suffered anything like this recently? Any ideas or tips to end my suffering? Please help. Sad

It could be a sinus infection OP. I'd ring 111, if I were you, as you may need antibiotics. It doesn't sound like a run of the mill cold anyway. You poor thing! Flowers

I feel bad calling 111 because I know how much pressure they're under, but you're right it's 100% not a cold.
I haven't eaten anything properly since the 23rd, it's just awful Sad

Thank you.

I would ring 111. They can arrange for you to get antibiotic from a local pharmacy if necessary . I would do it straight away as currently we have. 6 hour doctor call back wait in our area currently.
