Anybody else have this killer cold/virus that’s going around?

[L0ts]

I had Covid earlier this year and this is by far worse.

My three year old brought it back from nursery and now after he’s been coughing for over two weeks he’s on antibiotics for a chest infection. Other things prompted me to take him to the doctors, he’s not usually a crier but was miserable all day every day, wasn’t eating his favourite foods etc.

I’ve had it for just over a week and am considering the doctors myself because I am now feeling worse again. My whole head is congested, I’ve got sinus pressure, headache, upper tooth ache and my nose is so blocked. Whenever I breathe in it hurts my entire head.

My poor partner is only on day 2 so now we can’t rely on him to help us much anymore. Ergh we’re all so unbelievably miserable! I forgot to mention I am also 26 weeks pregnant 😩🤧

Yep day 14 today and still feeling crap.

Yes!!

Ds12 bought it home on Monday, I got symptoms yesterday. Massive headache, blocked nose, chesty cough and breathlessness, generally feeling bloody awful. Negative covid test! Hate this time of year

im on day 11 of this now, felt better days 8&9 and now have gone right back to the start but with an added sore throat! Anyone else has this?? I can’t take much more 😭😭😭

You are not alone. 2 weeks in. It got better for a couple of days but my head is exploding, my sinuses hurt and I'm waking up coughing. Drs apt tomorrow as I think I might have a chest infection.

Sorry to say ladies but I am STILL unwell, it’s been one thing after another since September. We’ve all had about 4 different colds, they’ve all lead to antibiotics 2/3 times. Chest infections, tonsillitis (my partner has caught cold after cold that much it’s less to tonsillitis three times for him), sinus infection and my son was showing signs of an ear infection earlier this week. He and my partner also got conjunctivitis in both eyes after we all had norovirus, it’s been hell. I’ve currently had a cold since maybe last Friday, so a week and I still wake up feeling like I’m on day one of it every single morning, I’m fed up of us all being ill 😩 My son has just been on antibiotics AGAIN for a cough that he has honestly had for almost 3 months.

In bed with it currently. I’ve also had a temperature, as has my DS.

It's bloody awful. So much worse that you are pregnant. I feel so sorry for you. I have been struggling too and a couple of things I have found that help. A hot shower with a strong pulse jet on your upper back, bending over and coughing helps to bring up catarrh. A hot bath in the evening to warm you up and ease aches and pains. Wrapping up and going outside, even just to sit in the garden helps clear my head a bit. Get well soon. Xx

Steam from a shower helps me a lot.

Yes I've had it 3 weeks it's awful. I'm actually starting to feel a bit better now I got these strong decongestant tablets that seem to be doing the trick. Also sleeping with 2 pillows at night so my head is raised had stopped me coughing all night.
