Nasty cold/flu

I've been ill for a good week now and the last few days feel horrendous. It hurts to breathe and I ache from head to toe in all my joints. I can't even rest as my 2 boys are ill too. Any suggestions on how to manage the kids while I'm feeling so rough? They are feeling better so bouncing around. I'm exhausted 😩

If it’s been a week and you’re no better, and your chest hurts, I’d be concerned about a chest infection. Might be worth a call to the GP.

Thank you @KangarooKenny I did see the nurse and thankfully no chest infection but since then I've developed white spots in my throat so will probably have to call someone later today. 🙄 I think it might be strep although didn't realise it could make me feel this rough. Been shivering all night.
At least hubby is here now so I'll get some help.
